&quot;we do not change as we grow older; we just become more clearly ourselves.&quot;<br /> &quot;the two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.&quot; -mark twain<br /> &quot;make your life your masterpiece.&quot;

the sound of
a secret,
dream,
wish,
and desire
escapes with
the scratch of a pencil
in the margins
of a notebook
filled with
truth.
the sound echoes
through me
lulling me
to sleep
like a friend
i've missed.
the sound begins
to fade
as sleep
takes its hold
and the truth
fills the margin
with secrets.
the sound of
a secret
disappears
once more.
