There are times when I think the light can't get any brighter nor the air any cleaner. I look around and sigh a big breath of wonder. Then there are times when it's so goddamn dark and stuffy I can't tell whether I want to turn back or fall to my knees with disgust and in dispair. Somewhere, situated neatly between the two - life seems to roll over the terrain with the dependability of the proverbial death and taxes. I have found that the brief time we spend together is never enough to leave one another without a smile. If I have touched you then you know my power, remember me and the glow will forever remain as it was. Damn that's deep shit...hope you can swim.
