sajash37: Come into the sunshine and bathe in the howling wind
What is life, learn that by going beyond booksThat is a star, let it twinkle in your eyes
Why shape it on your body to comprehend itStones can speak and feel emotions
learn that by refurbishing your doors and wallsDistance can be a folly of vision
whether she meets or not, do endeavor to meet her
Come into the sunshine and bathe in the howling wind
