Silences, Alone

By Peter S. Quinn

A silence comes within us all,
When we with darkness again fall;
A shadow creeping softly stays,
And show its vision many ways.
Everything my brain still knows,
Step by step into silences goes;
Dreams and feelings down it break’s,
Away my visions all it takes.

When I am alone and streets I walk,
Silences to me softly talk;
About the heart that was here before,
But is now gone for ever more.

A lonesome soul just only knows,
The restless silence that never goes;
Sharp and shining like a razor blade,
A forgotten love song now too late.
That echoed once from heart to heart,
With promises to never depart;
But now lies resting on its own,
Like silences that are still alone.

Freedom of Speech

By Aleksandra Lachut

Right to speak and share our thoughts
Freedom's mantra always taught
We may not agree with all we hear
The right to say it very clear

No matter what our thoughts in life
Each individual has the right
To speak with all determination
What we feel within this nation

And so our freedom's right to glory
Is documented in every story
No matter if we don't agree
The right say it makes us free

I may not like what I will hear
But it's your right and that is clear
To speak your mind with no exclusion
For freedom there is no intrusion

You will know the words I'm speaking
Perhaps for you their worth repeating
But if they're not they're mine to say
The privilege held in freedom's way

Just a little tutorial... :) ...and one of my first attempts to make a total digital work. This one is very simple in it's form. I will do more complex digital creations in the near future. I'm still learning everyday.

As you know, I tend to think that good concepts are more important than technique anyway.
