... and if only we knew what we don't know...
Awe Just as quickly as the evening shade falls and covers a wounded day the spangled heavens rain proclamations publish words we wish we had said and spin a wondrous tale The earth listening to the night sky rolls and spools with terrestrial tidings and we the small stand still and gape in glorious...

What language do you speak when you wake up in the morning?
Chosen Some days are filed with etherial light Enraptured we become when our sorrows are transformed into silent waves of gratitude or when tears cease to flow The morning sun rises divinely and a seemingly perfect bliss restrains our plaintive chatter With hearts billowing free the words that spill...
