The Fountain Of Life

The Fountain Of Life

Consciousness flows like a fountain;
pouring into the valley of life;
coming down from an energy mountain;
casting the illusion of light.

Without Love

Without Love

Without love; majesty and beauty dies;
love is the societal foundation;
no woman or man, created, survives;
