Continue reading →: Yearning Heart
My heart longs for the sweet drippings of honesty, dignity, strength and class present in the music of life, tastes of the spirit, Smells of the heart. The shame of it all, is that I must imagine, what this would be like, because time is a filter beyond our souls…
