Dianna Skowera Quotes

The desert is an unpredictable place. One day you're sweating, the next you're freezing. One moment the air is damp and cloudy like when the tide is coming in, the next the entire world is orange and dusty. The desert must be a woman. ~ Dianna Skowera

Lost

In black as solid as a mire
In a land no one would die for
In a time I was lost
To anyone who ever loved me
The world set itself on fire
And the sky collapsed above me

In a place no one could call home
In a place I breathed and slept
In a battle no one understood
That continued all the same
I sat defenseless and alone
With the insignificance of my name

In the midst of the Lord's birth
On a night meant to be peaceful
In a country of the Prophet
Where women don't live free
I spoke to God from the shaking Earth
And prayed my mother would forgive me

In a city without power
In a desert torn by religion
In a bank between two rivers
We added up the decade's cost
And glorified the final hour
Of a war that everyone had lost

In the dust of helplessness
In a concrete bunker
In a fate I chose myself
I waited without remorse
To fight again as recompense
For wasted lives and discourse

Elena glanced up at him, taking in his words. "If you get rid of your fear? You know, I never look at you as someone who's afraid."

"That's because every time you look at me, I'm looking right back, and the only time I'm not afraid, is when I see you. And I do see you, Elena. I see everything you've been through, from so young – how you struggled through it; how you never let it destroy your hope and faith – and I'm afraid of nothing."

(Karl and Elena) ~ Dianna Hardy
