and the dance of your smile still touches and soothes my ears.

before they become too bitter and murky to inhale.

and to do the things worth doing even if you do them imperfectly.

The skies retain an exuberant cobalt of endless blue,
sprinkled artistically with impressions on a canvass of skinny, white clouds.
