Sarah Cain
Or is it that the problem is beautiful to me
I will stand the standard distance, distant strangers stand apart
Tidal Wave
Everything in this room right now, is a part of me
Ten hundred thousand moons
Walk in lightly, leave like lightning
A homage to humankind
Friends are warmer than gold when you’re old
