It’s a billion stars moving and co… While we sleep. It’s one miracle after another and… We do not take the leap. It’s the great heave of nature

Unable to be all things For all people, Perhaps at one time, I tried. Those days are

Old friends walking on the beach, the waves bring in, memories, of carefree days;

In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
