Listen to the song
I sing and you will hear the
secrets of my heart.

2:52:39

I wish a wish and
dream a dream and yet life is
so, so much better.

2:52:40

This is what poetry
has to tell me: that life
is worth the living.

2:52:41

Some days the whole world
feels like it’s upside down, but
tomorrow’s brand new.

2:52:42

It’s an endless sort
of hope that echoes in all
our deepest spaces.
