Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!

What if you slept?
And what if in your sleep, you dreamed?
And what if in your dream,
you went to Heaven?
And there, plucked a strange
and beautiful flower?
And, what if, when you awoke
you had the flower in your hand?
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge

hear the music of tomorrow;

dance to it today.

snail bravery
Having climbed so high,
she sat to relish her accomplishment.
Then just as her fear of heights began to kick in,
she swallowed her panic
and bravely faced the next summit.
peaceful sunrise
Because of the tender mercy of our God,
With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,
To shine upon those who sit in darkness
and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.
~ Luke 1:78-79
enchanted leaf
My soul is an enchanted boat,
Which, like a sleeping swan, doth float
Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing.
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
