I bid you welcome. Welcome to Carpathian Edge.

Do words die?

Why do we enjoy telling or reading stories?

I have often wondered this. We all like a good story.

Carpathian Edge is a place in the Imagination. Carpathian Edge is a collection of short stories and a few poems about a variety of different characters within the Carpathian Edge universe -- you might even say it's about storytelling.

And it all begins with "The Weaver's Song":

Words and words and words
Combine and gain
Like links in a chain
That bind (in kind)
That bond (in song)

Words within words within words
Firm and in order
Like a brick in mortar
That stands (to stay)
That stays (to stand)

Words above words above words
Raised and gathered
Like steps in a ladder
That reaches (beyond)
That touches (the beyond)

Words because words because words
Rock solid and mastered
Like the point of the matter
that creates (a new world)
that loves (a new word)

To change the World
And live beyond Time
To change the Time
And live beyond the World

To Walk in a New World
To Sing The Weaver's Song
