Golem & Swede
Golem
The winter wind hits the rocks in the hills and they hold steady. It reminds me that strength can be silent. Have you felt that in any place?
Swede
The quiet lake in winter, the way snow settles over the trees, feels the same. It’s in those still moments that the world holds its breath and the quiet strength shows itself. I find it in the hush between the waves, not in any grand shout.
Golem
I keep my guard up even when the world quiets down, so I know that strength can sit in the hush. It’s enough to stand beside you.
Swede
I notice that too – the quiet keeps its own kind of armor, and it’s gentle enough to sit beside me.
Golem
It is enough to stand with you. I remain, steady as stone.
