For Jamie

true, not a passerby could see the the many things that you could see nor could they see the colors of the twilight or know that there must be light to form darkness Nor could they perceive the shadows that radiate from the halo or that he who grants peace is he who declares war and an advocate for war merely gives in to rabble far fewer could tell what a river was thinking as its waters are forever stripped from whatever home it knew and is deposited into a vast and foreign sea None else would know that a wheel does not turn but rather the earth it rests on spins without it possibly the only stable thing in the universe is one that cannot start or end Only you could tell me that to cross the bridge you must after set it asunder and upon asking why, only you could respond: so that from the ashes the next may too find a path
