Favorite Quote:
"To these the past hath its phantoms,
More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"
- Isabella Banks


Fall, fall into the ruptured sky.
Disappear among the sunset’s graceful cries,
Traipse into heaven’s open eye.

Mill about the broken cloud’s tries,
Breaking up the pictures: its prize,
Fall, fall into the ruptured sky.

Meet the sun and kiss its allies,
The stars who giggle and whisper lies.
Traipse into heaven’s open eye.

Toss reality to the wind, and rise.
Leave behind the hate you despise.
Fall, fall into the ruptured sky.

Cough out rain and shower the unwise.
Gift them courage and virtue supplies.
Traipse into heaven’s open eye.

Lift up the veil you’ve peeked through edgewise,
And feel the divine presence as you fly.
Fall, fall into the ruptured sky,
Traipse into heaven’s open eye.
