“What if it's the there
and not the here
that I long for?
The wander

stumbling down
the faraway street
and the way the moon
never hangs
quite the same.”

“And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.”
