Opening them with catalytic mystery of light
Living waters flowing like angels’ robes
Lifting inspirations into the depths of brilliance

Not in tea leaves, in shoelaces tie existence--their harsh and meshing material
bound, tethered, undone with a gentle pull.

The calm breeze flickered the lanterns dim glare,
Followed by a gust blowing it out with a flare,...

A heart left rendered
A love left tendered

Sail the lonely trails
Of pale faces and ails
