Favorite Quote:
I believe in everything until it is disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it&#039;s in your mind. Who&#039;s to say that dreams and nightmares aren&#039;t as real as the here and now?<br /> -John Lennon

I'm glad when a storm approaches,
because after the
rain,
snow,
lightning,
sand,
after the
suffering,
fear,
damage,
there is always
a rainbow, puddles to jump in,
a snowball fight, a winter wonderland,
lasting after-light, the dependable rumble of thunder,
dunes to slide down, complete silence,
and the promise of clear skies.

I wanted this poem to symbolize the good that comes after a tough time in life. (after a rainstorm there is a rainbow). No "storm" can last forever.
