When Darkness Reigns

When Darkness Reigns

We were created to follow the Light;
thru a kingdom much like a dream;
birth was a journey thru endless night;

The Tears Of Pride

The Tears Of Pride

Tears conceal a great mystery of life;

Food From Thought

Food From Thought

Food supplies sustenance; fuel for life;
