“We all have our safe places, where none are invited. They are lonely rooms full of the musk of memory. Sanctuary rather than adventure.”

“There is a light within our soul that burns brighter than the sun. And we ignore it.”

“All these mirrorscarnival distortionsof selves we never were.”

“Those masks we wear not to shield others; but ourselves from who we are.”

“I want to douse myself in silver words and whisper away all rue.”

“Tired of the sea,I need a tree that will hold my thoughts with birdsong;not tides returning them along the shoreline to laughing gulls.”

“Thoughts as warm as a silky summer rain, flowing over the edge of my soul's gentle.not tides returning them along the shoreline to laughing gulls.”
