misty mountain sides,
dreamy dusk breaks in on me.

landed. The eagle is here.
On welcoming mountain tops
of home and beauty, I watch
these majestic name-sakes of
mine soar through...

I...

In the Beginning:

To fill the empty hours of my despair; to occupy these fleeing hours that seem to have no meaning; just to find a fulfilling reality to the pain I face, let me write you this letter hoping that my intention would be well understood; believing that whatever I feel for this being on the path to love and life would be made known when the...

There is a smiling storm gathering in the east.There is a weeping sea across the desert.Rising waves beat against the beach.Whispering winds call us to new beginning.But we are still dancing. We are still dancing to that music of freedom. We are still dreamingwhen we should have woken up to protect andpreserve earth's dying...
