I have been here before, Traversed this...

I have been here before,

Traversed this terrain.

Though time has erased,

And fogged the details.

My fingertips can recall,

Heart still seared from your love.

“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly…to listen to stars and buds, to babes and sages, with open heart; await occasions,hurry never…this is my symphony.”
