    "I know. I know, everything, everyone is a lesson. But sometimes I wish I could stop learning and start living."

Perhaps an encounter with a wonderful stranger was all she needed to change it all? To be free at last?

    A poem about a man who was in love with this girl, who doesn't know how she feels about him. As he took a courageous step to show his love, she never did give a direct 'Yes' or 'No' instead, he waited and waited and waited. He was laughed at and put to shame. Nobody really knew how hard he worked, how hurt he was... but God. (I do not own the cover/picture)

    This is my poem about Beauty. That every girl is beautiful, but there are some that think they are not, and it is really getting to my nerves. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! I know a girl who thinks to much. She locks herself in the toilet, and think "Am I pretty enough?" That girl is me... Though I may not have the most prettiest face, and I still doubt that I do. It is said in the bible, that God doesn't judge you by your looks, but He judges what is in your heart.

    The following excerpt comes from the recently recovered memoirs of one Sir Elliot Walderport, a British socialite, explorer and occultist. Notorious for his eccentricity coupled with grotesque and perverse tendencies he is to this day a well-known historical figure in the public eye, much in thanks to his various exploits across 19th century Europe being well documented by authors of both scientific and popular literature.

    A young woman with silver hair that glistens like starlight and an ethereal beauty that leaves even the moon pale in comparison wanders an ever-changing world. For as long as anyone can remember, Lyra has remained indifferent-detached from the rise and fall of kingdoms, empires, and entire civilizations that vanish like moths drawn to a consuming flame. One by one, the people she once knew faded into memory. Comrades were left behind. Family disappeared into the passage of time. Yet through it all, she carried a silence and indifference that no mortal tongue could explain. A curse? An immortal bloodline? No one knows for certain. Stranger still, the world seems to have forgotten her existence. Records bearing her name are scarce, and even the oldest texts offer little more than fragments shrouded in mystery. What remains is an unfathomable void where her history should have been. In a world that has become estranged to her, Lyra sets forth in search of purpose, answers, and the truth behind her existence. Bear witness to Lyra's journey as she unravels the mysteries of a world that no longer remembers her. Cover Notice The current cover for Thus Spoke, Lyra was created with the assistance of AI-generated imagery and serves as a temporary placeholder while the project is in its early stages. As an aspiring writer working within limited resources, I am unable to commission professional artwork at this time. I greatly respect the time, skill, and dedication of artists, and I hope to collaborate with one in the future should circumstances allow. Until then, this cover exists solely to provide a visual identity for the story and does not represent a replacement for commissioned artwork. Thank you for your understanding and for giving the story a chance.
