If the world is one thing, and we are another then we should entitle ourselves into that, because it is the law that resides in our heart to go forth and to examine the rest of us… -Myself

It seems as if we’re in love
Answers slowly, but I know it’s true
Love is so complex, peaceful as a dove
But we all know I love you

Fingers of branches of a wintery oak
The yearning of warmth invades my fingers
Then I slept until I awoke
In the misty dawn, you still linger

Six Hundred thousand days, I must wait
And all I get is a postcard
The message is quite clear, I never meant to hate
But when I heard of your death, I stood to guard

Your watchtower, princess of divinity
And the watcher of all things curtsy
Beautiful, and in all ways of sincerity
I thank thee for everything, my love, my bride, my majesty…

Music, and most of all...life itself. It seems as if people forget that it's more precious than you think

&quot;...If the Thames that ran beside them...recalled a night where the moon shone as brightly as a shilling on the same boy and girl... and thought to themselves, &#039;at last, the wheel comes full circle,&#039; they kept their silence.&quot;
