Nature


Show me not the halls of men,
Ere I've seen the open skies
Tell me not to roam these streets
Until I've trodden the wild paths
For no gaze can take me afar,
Yonder away, beyond the sea,
And no palace built that does
Outshine the sun's blinding gleam.

You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time.”

Circle

Wave after wave
Crashes into the rocks
Separated, severed;
But its water all the same.

Eons have passed
Since the ties broke.
Seasons addled by,
While the friends drifted.

Once in the sand
And then in the air
'Cross countries,
Many winds bore them afar.

When the time came nigh,
The sky turned black,
And the heavens lit up white.
Thunderstruck, the descent ensued.

Perilous, terrible and joyous
Nature's singularity
Forging together A miracle,
The last link in the chain.

A din like no other,
As they roar in delight.
As proud Poseidon's army
Revels and rejoices.

Afar on the shore,
The nemesis awaits.
In constant vigil,
In constant peril.

A moonlit night
Under a starlit sky.
Farewells are in order,
As the waves come crashing again.

DONT just be yourself

‘‘... and you, Marcus, you have given me many things; now I shall give you this good
advice. Be many people. Give up the game of being always Marcus Cocoza. You
have worried too much about Marcus Cocoza, so that you have been really his slave
and prisoner. You have not done anything without first considering how it would
affect Marcus Cocoza’s happiness and prestige. You were always much afraid that
Marcus might do a stupid thing, or be bored. What would it really have mattered? All
over the world people are doing stupid things ... I should like you to be easy, your little
heart to be light again. You must from now, be more than one, many people, as
many as you can think of ...’’

Eatable quotes - THE reason

In everything I do and speak,
A smile is all I seek.

Eatable quotes - coiffure

A haircut here in the US is like waiting for VTU results. You never know what the outcome is until you've seen it for yourself. But with one major difference; atleast the barber knows what he's upto!
