the way we weigh ourselves with the same favors?

our compassion and love where happiness lies.

while goodness builds on goodness in store.

are never, never put to waste at all.

Wait for the image to depart.

Drags you into a deeper pit.

Patience is silence at work.

Who sees a new beginning.

Beauty builds upon beauty,
Ad infinitum to eternity. ~
