Zephyr: Taming the Tempest

By Zoovi & Vanae

Divided in two parts, Zephyr talks about our demons pulling us down and then rising from the ruins, carrying our scars on skin like a prize.
The 2 writers bound their words in poetry for the broken and anguished; for the healing and for the ones growing.

even nature resists the
