Masking a thought to conceal The origin of this fantasy. Where the breath and heart Are of one accord in delivery. I open this palace with no gates And welcome all who venture in. For I am the wanderer of life And expose the frailty it contains. But come and dwell while we walk And talk of days you never spent. You will see the future unfold Where your life might have been.

Love and blessings,
