I am the glisten of ink pressed onto parchment and the gleam of a blade poised to parry. I survive on the echo of forests that lingers in tomes, and I thrive on the tranquility of coffee.

My love is your acceptance.
I can learn to love deeply;
The journey costs you steeply,
But I cherish my resplendance.
A drawing in ink of tree that has in its branches a poem transcribed in an invented script. It reads: "My love is your acceptance. I can learn to love deeply; The journey costs you steeply, But I cherish my resplendance." It is drawn in black pen with silver and red highlights and the word 'resplendance' outlined in gold. It is an intermediate stage of a poem grown from a single word that will mean something a little different each time a few words are added, until the tree is fully grown and the poem is in its completed form.

To love deeply
Costs you steeply
An ink drawing in a writing system designed to write poetry in the shape of trees; it reads: "To love deeply costs you steeply". Black ink on white paper; no colour this time because I am tired and frustrated with the concept of having to be bad at painting long enough to improve.

Deeply
A drawing in Tree Script of the word "deeply" surrounded by the soft green and blue vaguely indicative of grass and sky, captured in a photo taken slightly off centre while spilling coffee (not pictured).

I read like breathing—
Each book an inhalation of exploration,
A captivation of inspiration—
But I've forgotten how to breathe.

I breathe by living—
Each breath an effortless sustenance,
Until with comfortless vigilance
I've forgotten how to be.
A poem in Tree Script, an invented writing system designed to transcribe poetry in the shape of trees. The background is painted in watercolour. Brown string from the binding of the book is visible in the picture of this page. The poem is written in black ink, with invented symbols in the shapes of leaves and twigs. It reads: "I read like breathing— Each book an inhalation of exploration, A captivation of inspiration— But I've forgotten how to breathe. I breathe by living— Each breath an effortless sustenance, Until with comfortless vigilance I've forgotten how to be. I live by praying— Each day a dissertation in devotion Through selfless acts and kind emotion— But I've forgotten how to pray. I pray in poetry— Each hopeful line an incantation; Each perfect rhyme a revelation— But I have lost my voice, my words. I speak in silence— Each phrase a quiet tether Stitched word by word together That I've forgotten how to say. The quiet melody Of each verse I craft from brokenness Breathes life that mends the loneliness As I remember I'll be heard."

To breathe,
I've forgotten how to pray;
I have lost my voice to say
the quiet melody
of verse that mends
An ink drawing of a tree depicting poetry in an invented script. The ink is bleeding into the pale watercolour background. It reads: "to breathe, I've forgotten how to pray; I have lost my voice to say the quiet melody of verse that mends"

Breathe
to voice
the quiet melody
that mends
A watercolour painting of a sunset by a river and a phrase in an invented script shaped like a tree: it reads "breathe to voice the quiet melody that mends"

Breathe to mend
A messy watercolour painting with a phrase in an invented script: the words "breathe to mend" in a constructed writing system shaped like a sprouting tree, with clumsily blended ink stains and highlights around the letters, on a watercolour field and sunset with more ink stains
