Once we were there
The happiness we couldn't bear
The smiles we did share
And even though the night
...

Let's lie on spar to row
Where we can't wait to soar
So high from the valleys below
Let's be together with you
...

There was a kind of energy we had eating bread and butter as kids.
Two totally different products we enjoyed seeing together
Bread always was a resilient and consistent breadwinner, thesparks of relief we had seeing him come out of the hot bakery
Sometimes he returned in our mouths disappointed, yet he always entered our stomachs to make us satisfied
...

We laid our mats to rest our bodies
Our only opportunity to do so
But insomnia interfered leaving our eyes wide-opened
And our unrest had nowhere to go
...

Some begin with paragraphs,
Others begin with small letters
Some begin capital letters
Others are wise enough to add punctuations
...

Grace teaches us to wait
Despite the sorrows and pain
It quickens us to praise
On the narrow road
...

Teach me the way when im lost
To deliver me from the darkness in which I walk
Nurture me in my weakness to make strong
For to err is human but to forgive is divine
...

From nowhere did we see
How the living becomes an abstract
It surprised our view
Yet rain still matched into the sea
...
