“With you in my hand I can travel across the universe in one verse and skip moons to the tunes of Miles or Coltrane.”

“Muriel, you're not a convenience. I'd walk across a mile of cut glass in my bare feet to hold your hand and talk to you for one hour. You're everything to me.--Walt”

“Sometimes it ain't the drunk or the sinner who needs a shovel across the rear, it's the ones who could quote you chapter and verse about grace, but don't hand it out.”

“Dance me slowly along a moonlit path,Soaked with light from moon and stars above,Hold my hand and whistle a tune,Dance me slowly to the edge of Love.Waltz here with me on forest grass,Soft ballet pirouettes round sun dappled trees,Hold my hand and hum a tune,Catch my freshly blown kiss off the breeze.”

“I stared up at the ebbing quarter moon and the stars scattered like a handful of salt across the faraway sky...”

“The ocean crashes to the shore, And comes to us with a mighty roar.And stones can threaten our path, To trip our progress with their wrath.But you can pass this test of life, And turn to fun the daunting strife.So pick a stone and toss it free, To skip across the raging sea.And laugh out loud as it leaves your hand, I'll show you how...my little man.”
