Favorite Quote:
"But now I am mostly at the window
watching the late afternoon light.
Back then it never fell so solemnly
against the side of my tree house,
and my bicycle never leaned against the garage
as it does today,
all the dark blue speed drained out of it."

You can tell me what you see
Behind your painted eyelids,
And  I will listen patiently,
Like I’ve done since we were kids
You can tell me about Him,
You can tell me about you.
I’ll sit cross legged on the floor,
And listen like I always do.
