The power of a pure heart relieves sorrow and pain.
Touch the stars in the sky; live your dreams now and here.

Think "happiness" and you are happy.
But hatred is a vile disease
that twists around the heart,
piercing its pulpy flesh,
inserting a cancerous growth.
Eating away all hope and love
leaving nothing behind-the great nothing that ends all.
Do not be afraid of the dark, the hatred -
Because it can be brighter than every day.
Seek your way in dark, winding depths:

It was lovely to watch as Jane went about her day, admiring the way the weather just casually strolled by. It was nice.
And then it came time to leave.
Nothing major happened by the time she arrived at the bus stop; the breeze had picked up quite a bit, to the point where it
