Worries.

Hope is risky thing. Risk is proportional to reward. And I want to be a self fulfilling prophecy.

See it

The way I see it
Isn't necessarily
The way you see it
Or the way it is
Or ought to be
What's more important
Is that we're all
Looking for it
And a way to see it

–Desi Di Nardo
Canadian author and poet

Live music


Because of you, I understand the joy of live music.
Because of that, words fail me now.
Nothing more can be said.
Just breathe in the morning air.
Lift your lungs
As it washes over you.
The music of last night,
Presses through your skin
Surges through your veins
Beats against your chest
Competing with your heart.
Arms wide to embrace
This gift.
Your gift.
