Re: Bonnie and Yuka: Start Where You Stand

[Guest guest]

Sometimes in the quite of myself my heart goes to unknown places.

Where ripples of my soul reach out to touch my every thought hidden.

Fleeting moments I thought were lost burst from the light burning

with colors of emotions. All that I have seen and all that I am

caught to be held together by threads of myself. The threads are

strong, the colors are brilliant, the emotions are clean. I can touch

the water and draw breath. I need no eyes to see no ears to hear for

I can create the vision then hold the memory from within myself.
