"Left Open" is beautiful, zevokes.
I would write more...and will write more later...about the word choice, the flow, and especially the meaning...except right now it is 9:15 PM for me, and I am a mother out there with a child I need to put to bed and read stories to, because I really really really really really really care to see him strive and see him alive and see that his time is not wasted!
More later!
