Favorite Quote:
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become. <br /> C. S. Lewis

My heart sprouts wings
and escapes my chest,
floating to and fro until
it finds you at last.
It hesitates, not wanting
to get too close.
Instead it settles for just watching from afar.
This is just alright.
