In a thin but steadfast trickle you flow,
constantly splishing and splashing along,
coming from somewhere that I do not know.
All the sudden, a melody, a song,
starting to sing as you grow larger now,
until you quickly crash down, but with grace,
into a creek, which is a running plow.
Now you, too, are bounding at a swift pace.
Faster, harder, and louder still you go;
Getting brisker with ev’ry single stride,
you’re swaying and zig-zagging to and fro.
Dashing downhill do you joyfully ride.
You fall off a cliff and will never cease,
Until at last you find your blissful peace.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
