The doorway to her heart...

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. 

-- Audrey Hepburn

Spirit leaps....

I find myself at the extremity of a long beach. How gladly does the spirit leap forth, and suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep! A greeting and a homage to the Sea! I descend over its margin, and dip my hand into the wave that meets me, and bathe my brow. That far-resounding roar is the Ocean’s voice of welcome. His salt breath brings a blessing along with it.

 ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, "Foot-prints on the Sea-shore"

Let go...

    Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.

Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons

Smile with your soul...

Smile with your lips, smile with your eyes, smile with your heart and your soul and your life. 

~Terri Guillemets

Give me....

Give me
a moon-blanket night
to keep me warm

a long-gone smile
to comfort me

a pair of rain-blue eyes
to haunt me

a simple soul
...to love me.

Sanober Khan, Turquoise Silence

All I want....

All I want in this life are three...
a moonlit beach on the starlit sea,

a breath of opium,
and thee.

Roman Payne

Moving sea between your souls...

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

~ Khalil Gibran
