Angels told me
Long ago
Rivers and mountains could cry

And the wind could sing
And the trees could dance
And the water was as clear as the air

The stars would smile
And leaves could soar
And clouds could race in the sky

Until a creature came
And wiped out their land
Now silence has swept o'er the hills

Now the wind just howls
And the trees are slouched
And the clouds slowly drift by

And the rivers are hushed
And the mountains stand still
Now the angels cry for them

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;

Isn&#039;t it ironic? We ignore the ones who adore us, adore the ones who ignore us, love the ones who hurt us, and hurt the ones that love us.

Interesting. I'd like to see a book with this story line.
