Introduction
“History says, Don’t hope On this side of the grave But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up And hope and history rhyme.”
― Patrick Radden Keefe

"When You Say Nothing at All"(3)

Alison Krauss, Alison Krauss & Union Station

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain what I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now you say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
but when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mister Webster could never define
what's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now you say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now you say it best when you say nothing at all

I have listed the lyrics to the song below for your reading pleasure.

Better Man 
(3)
Paolo Nutini

She makes me smile
She thinks the way I think
That girl makes me wanna be better
Took her down Bleecker Street
Saw she drank the way I drink
I kiss the sky to send her blue a letter
That girl
Makes me wanna be a better man
Ye should she see fit
Gonna treat her like a real man can
She's fearless, she's free
Oh she is a real live wire
And that girl
She's got me feeling so much better
Oh you trade all the money in the world
Just to see this girl's smile
All the while, she'll make you feel so much better
Oh that girl, makes me wanna be a better man
And should she see fit, gonna treat her like a real man can
Ah, ah, la la la
Come on in my arms
You make me feel alright
You make me feel alright
You know I might get eager
I might lose my cool
Feel like I'm in detention
In the office at the school
And you'll either love me love me
Or you hate me
But I can see you've got no time
For the in-between
But the reflection in your eyes
Gonna look so much better
I said that girl makes me wanna be a better man
Yeah yeah yeah
And should she see she fit, gonna treat her like a real man can
Gonna treat her like a real man can
Gonna treat her like a real man can
Gonna treat her like a real man can

"Holding On" #Poetry #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #DianaKrall "This Dream Of You" #ILovU2TheEnd

9/25/2020

 
Picture"Holding On" by Diana Mary Sharpton
 Introduction: “There is only what you want and what happens. There is only grabbing on and holding tight in the darkness.”
― Lauren Oliver,



Holding On

It’s autumn now in this year of colored stones
Stirring to a brilliant sun, crisp breeze; yet alone
Not lost, only blessed, maybe melancholy, you see
Happy during moments that silently drift to sea

Nothing changes but time from my point of view
As I investigate that mirror to see someone new
Belief, regard, desires, sentiments, all are clues
I was there all along holding on to this love for you

Diana Mary Sharpton © copywrite 2020 All Rights Reserved   

To accompany this poem,  I am add a brilliant artist Diana Krall - with a brand new song titled "This Dream Of You
"(2). It was published on YouTube Sep 25, 2020 by Diana Krall.

Diana Krall just release a new albumn titled This Dream of You and this song is the 5th track. I have added the lyrics for your reading pleasure. 

"This Dream Of You "
(originally by Bob Dylan)


How long can I stay in this nowhere café
Before night turns into day
I wonder why I'm so frightened of dawn
All I have, all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on

There's a moment when all old things become new again
But that moment might have come and gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on

I look away, but I keep seeing it
I don't want to believe, but I keep believing it
Shadows dance upon the wall
Shadows that seem to know it all

Am I too blind to see?
Is my heart playing tricks on me?
I'm lost in the crowd
All my tears are gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on

Everything I touch seems to disappear
Everywhere I turn you are always here
I'll run this race until my earthly death
I'll defend this place with my dying breath

From a cheerless room in a curtained gloom
I saw a star from heaven fall
I turned and looked again but it was gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on


I hope you have a blessed morning or evening and thank you for your continued support.
My music selection, My thoughts, My emotions, My language.

Stay Safe!

Love and Peace always Diana

Picture"Together We Stand" by Diana Mary Sharpton
Introduction:
“My task is set before me, girl
My mission clear and true
There’ll be black knights and dragons, girl
But I will always come for you…”

― Emme Rollins

My personal opinion on 2020, we are experiencing world caucus as a result of a pandemic and US election. 

The Democratic party is trying to put in place a racist shell of a man. It is our belief that his plan is then to step down and give the title over to his VP. This party is fighting tooth and nail with lies and tricks. I encourage everyone to go vote in person.

The song being featured this evening is titled "Rescue"(2) which is brilliantly sung by the beautiful Lauren Daigle. She is brand new to me and I love the depth of her vocal range. 

Lauren is a American contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter and "
Rescue" is the 2nd track on her album titled "Look Up Child" released in September 7, 2018. 

The video published on Jul 20, 2019 by Lauren Daigle on YouTube. Her genre is contemporary Christian music, worship.

I have listed the lyrics to the song below for your reading pleasure.

"Rescue"(3)
Lauren Daigle

You are not hidden
There’s never been a moment
You were forgotten
You are not hopeless
Though you have been broken
Your innocence stolen

I hear you whisper underneath your breath
I hear your SOS, your SOS

I will send out an army
To find you in the middle of darkest night 
It’s true
I will rescue you

There is no distance
That cannot be covered
Over and over
You’re not defenseless
I’ll be your shelter
I’ll be your armor

I hear you whisper underneath your breath
I hear your SOS, your SOS

I will send out an army
To find you in the middle of darkest night 
It’s true
I will rescue you
I will never stop marching
To reach you in the middle of the hardest fight 
It’s true
I will rescue you

I hear the whisper underneath your breath
I hear you whisper you have nothing left

“i will not have you

build me into your life
when
what i want is to
build a life with you
- the difference”

Starting Over
Chris Stapleton
Well the road rolls out like a welcome mat
To a better place than the one we're at
And I ain't got no kinda plan
But I've had all of this town I can stand
And I got friends out on the coast
We can jump in the water and see what floats
We've been saving for a rainy day
Let's beat the storm and be on our way
It don't matter to me
Wherever we are is where I wanna be
And, honey, for once in our life
Let's take our chances and roll the dice
I can be your lucky penny
You can be my four-leaf clover
Starting over
This might not be an easy time
There's rivers to cross and hills to climb
Some days we might fall apart
And some nights might feel cold and dark
When nobody wins afraid of losing
And the hard roads are the ones worth choosing
Some day we'll look back and smile
And know it was worth every mile
It don't matter to me
Wherever we are is where I wanna be
And, honey, for once in our life
Let's take our chances and roll the dice
I can be your lucky penny
You can be my four-leaf clover
Starting over
Starting over
It don't matter to me
Wherever we are is where I wanna be
And, honey, for once in our life
Let's take our chances and roll the dice
I can be your lucky penny
You can be my four-leaf clover
Starting over
Starting over
Ooh
Ooh

Introduction: “Summer in the deep South is not only a season, a climate, it's a dimension. Floating in it, one must be either proud or submerged.”
― Eugene Walter

Watch the video as you are listening to the music... this is what we use to do... ! Now we are locked up in fear with economic devastation and lab virus released by China. We don't know who created it but then I think we all do...

Back Down South
Kings Of Leon
Come on out and dance,
If you get the chance,
We're gonna spit on the rival.
All's I wanna know,
Is how far you wanna go,
Fighting for survival.
Underneath the stars,
Where we parked the cars,
Ain't showing signs of stopping.
Pretty little girls,
Naked to their curls,
Ready to lay in a coffin.
If you wanna go,
I'm gonna go,
I gotta fire burning.
Go on take my hand,
When we see the man,
Baby's gonna be a big one.
Baby's gonna be a big one.
When you see the lights,
And when we hear the fights,
It's gonna be a stunner.
I've got something here,
If you give me one more beer,
I'm gonna call a runner.
I don't want to say,
What I have to say,
If I'm kicking off now.
If you wanna go,
I'm gonna go,
I'm going back down south now ahh
I'm going back down south now ahh
I'm going back down south now.
If you wanna go,
I'm going back down south now.
Come on take my hand,
I'm going back down south now.
When we see the lights,
And we hear those fights,
I'm going back down south now.
All I want to know,
Is how far you wanna go,
I'm going back down south now oh yeah.
I'm going back down south now.
I'm going back down south now.
I'm going back down south now.
Oh, yeah.

Introduction: “And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon.”― Edward Lear

Save the Last Dance for Me

Michael Bublé
You can dance every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand beneath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
Oh, I know that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
Baby, don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never, never let you go
I love you oh so much
You can dance, go and carry on
'Til the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he walk you home, you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Save the last dance for me
Oh, I know that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
So don't forget who's taking you home
Or in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
Oh baby, won't you save the last dance for me
Ooh, you make a promise
That you'll save the last dance for me
Save the last dance
The very last dance
For me

Introduction: 
“To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to be loved by the person you love.. is everything."

― ~Bill Russell

Breath in Life
by Diana Mary Sharpton (c) 2020

Climbing that hill one day to the next
Adrift, not knowing what to appeal less
It’s like time means nothing to you at all
Yet, a solemn fee’s trapped in this forestall
 
Where do dreams come from anyway?
Are they fears or desires dismissed in the light of day?
Or promises weighted down in intervals of delay…
And ultimately trivialized in your mind to my dismay.
 
For real this time… the boomer knows
No matter what you say to the shadows
Heeding without ears in darken halls...
Stop erecting all these secret damnable walls…
 
I need you…
As the breath in life needs its soul…
And miss you…
As the dry desert hopes for rain that's icy cold…
 
I love you…
Like the taste of a fresh spring breeze…
 And want you…
For it’s you, I want to squeeze and tease….


About the Singers - Teskey Brothers:
"The Teskey Brothers are a rare musical gem. Honouring that old school Motown sound and working it into something of their very own, the band have received widespread acclaim for their gorgeous debut album Half Mile Harvest. A raw combination of soul and blues, the record has warmed the hearts of listeners everywhere with it’s melancholic, analogue tones. Written by all four band members, the album was recorded in their own home studio, self-produced and released independently. Listening to the record you’d be forgiven for thinking it was the work of Stax Records alumni in Memphis circa ‘67 rather than a group of twenty-somethings from the Yarra Valley just outside Melbourne. The feeling is as old as the tape machine it was recorded on and it’s a true expression of love. Onstage singer Josh Teskey’s smoked whiskey voice defies expectation as the band around him hold an irresistible groove. Their undeniable live show has wowed audiences around the world, leaving them infected with soul and blues."

Paint My Heart

The Teskey Brothers
Heavy traffic
On empty skies
Empty streets
Fill my eyes
I paint my heart
With something new
Then leave it all
I'll leave it all to you
If the cold winds coming
Don't let it stay
I know I'll try
Harder every day
I paint my heart
With something new, then I'll give it all
I'll give it all
Back to you
Yeah
In a letter
That you sent to me
Got my heart
For me to see
I'll paint it
With something new, then I'll send it on
I'll send it on
Back to you
Yeah you
Yeah
Yeah
In a letter
A letter you sent to me
Got my heart
For me to see
I'll paint it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
With something new
Then I'll send it on
I'll send it on
I'll send it on
Then I'll send it on
I'll send it on
Back to you

Introduction: “Do it again.
Play it again. Sing it again. Read it again. Write it again. Sketch it again. Rehearse it again. Run it again. Try it again.
Because again is practice, and practice is improvement, and improvement only leads to perfection.”

― Richelle E. Goodrich

It has been a violent, turbulent time for the world; however my love for you is in safe place. It's attached to this soul of mine.

Tenderness

I missed that song at the doorway of sunrise
So, clouds slowly darken as a day went awry
Was it my turn or did you just forget?
Seems like lately we’ve lost an intricate step

The dance is everything as you well know
Thinking out loud, you, I love; I’ll never let go
All those fluctuations in the “River's” stream
Makes fish crazy enough they want to scream

Hiding from change; not wanting to blink
Be it ridiculous to most; however few might think
Life without a morning song will always be incomplete
Today be it late; yet still in time with tenderness it’s sent

Make You Feel My Love

Adele
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
Oh, I hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue
And I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of this Earth for you
To make you feel my love, oh yes
To make you feel my love

Introduction:
“The umbrella won't stop the rain, but it will help you to get out during rainfall. As well as confidence is not going to guarantee your success, but it will give you the opportunity to achieve it.”
― Eyden I.


The world is in a conundrum. Individuals are being asked to live "at a distance" from each other due of the #Coronavirus and for me it has been very frightening and sad. Compounding this emotion is the fact people are dropping like flies at a sugar bowl full of sweet poison. Thank God no one that I love or know has been affected.

People are either playing according to the rules or not at all. The latter being truly selfish and disrespectful. It is surreal.

This being said, my second favorite thing is listening to music and sugar, this along with my first favorite thing is what we will do to pass all this time on hand.... smiling :)

Let's listen to Al Green to talk about the pain. He knows how to sing about it!

How Can You Mend a Broken Heart? 

Al Green
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

Introduction:
“A day without you beside me
is like a day without warm sunshine.
It's cold and gloomy.”

― Mouloud Benzadi

​
The song that I am going to feature this evening is titled “Without You" (2) and sung by the brilliant young duet, Birds of a Feather (Amy McKay & Ryan Leon). 

Both singer-songwriters, their music is consider Folk, Pop. The video was published on March 1, 2020 and uploading on YouTube by DEUTSCHLAND. "Without You" is the 9th track on their brand new albumn titled "You Are Music" released on August 28, 2019.
I love this groups' music and this song is no exception. Remember LOVE Traverses it all!...I highly recommend a few moments of your time to to check out their albumn and this video...
A little about the artists and the lyrics are listed below for your reading pleasure...
A little about the Artists: BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Amy & Ryan
"Amy McKay (vocal, guitar, piano, bluesharp) and Ryan Leon (vocal, guitar, banjo) are artists with a long track record respectively. They have been performing on both big and small stages in various places and countries before having met during their previous project, TinkaBelle.

The band was signed to Warner Music Central Europe, and both their studio albums were awarded with gold status. The group joined soul singer Seal for a duet, opened up in sold-out stadiums for rock legends Status Quo and went on tour with The Overtones in Germany.

By the end of 2013, it became clear to Amy and Ryan that the time was ripe for musical development and personal change. The decision for a new beginning had been made.

Birds of a Feather were allowed to mature slowly. Their first two EPs “Light Up” (2016) and “Rise Up” (2017) were recorded in Dublin with the support of producer Ger McDonnell (U2).

They took them on the road and performed shows all over Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, and Austria.

In spring 2018, in cooperation with DB, they gave concerts in all major train stations in Baden-Württemberg.

In December 2018, they launched a successful crowdfunding campaign to finance their band bus.

At the end of August 2019, Amy and Ryan will release their first full studio album “You Are Music”.

They repeated the inspiring collaboration with Ger McDonnell, and this time they also worked with three amazing Irish musicians:

John Colbert (Bass), Esa Taponen (Gitarren) und Daragh O’Toole (Keyboard)
Camera by: https://www.robinegli.ch
Cast: Alessandra Votta & Patrick Müller-Klug"

I have added their social media connections in case you are interested to connecting.

Introduction: “They say when you are missing someone that they are probably feeling the same, but I don't think it's possible for you to miss me as much as I'm missing you right now”
― Edna St. Vincent Millay

​It is as simple as "hello" that can make the difference in that persons' day...

Let me say "I hope your day is brilliant"... and that you are missed.

"Blair Stuart" by Blair Stuart Photography


Introduction: “I personally believe mavericks are people who write their own rulebook. They are the ones who act first and talk later. They are fiercely independent thinkers who know how to fight the lizard brain (to use Seth Godin’s term). I don’t believe many are born, rather they are products of an environment, or their experiences.

They are usually the people that find the accepted norm does not meet their requirements and have the self-confidence, appetite, independence, degree of self reliance and sufficient desire to carve out their own niche in life.

I believe a maverick thinker can take a new idea, champion it, and push it beyond the ability of a normal person to do so. I also believe the best mavericks can build a team, can motivate with their vision, their passion, and can pull together others to accomplish great things. A wise maverick knows that they need others to give full form to their views and can gather these necessary contributors around them.

Mavericks, in my experience, fall into various categories – a/ the totally off-the-wall, uncontrollable genius who won’t listen to anyone; b/ the person who thinks that they have the ONLY solution to a challenge but prepared to consider others’ views on how to conquer the world &, finally, the person who thinks laterally to overcome problems considered to be irresolvable. I like in particular the third category.

The upside is that mavericks, because of their different outlook on life, often sees opportunities and solutions that others cannot. But the downside is that often, because in life there is always some degree of luck in success (i.e. being in the right place at the right time), mavericks that fail are often ridiculed for their unorthodox approach. However when they succeed they are acclaimed for their inspiration. It is indeed a fine line they walk in life.” 
― Ziad K. Abdelnour, Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics



A Maverick
As water flows into time; humanity propels an infinite truest.
He’s not lost; just complicated, an enigma, between custom and thirst.
The wind’s his mistress; transfixing existing depths hurled to a pause,
In pursuit; of beauty with a lens, resolute however never resolved.

He is a man that walks a path bequeathed in honor and dignity,
A truth akin to surges from an ocean controlled by the anger in wind,
Centered in his frame; carrying it bearing no disrepute,
Yet there’s that wrinkle, a wanton speck in tenderness, moot.
 
Alike a smoothed bolder splitting the natural flow in a stream,
Or a lengthy journey commenced awaiting its symmetry.
Not the complete man, a tersely fragment lodged in his soul,
And at times between blinks it leaves him bare and cold.

Shaking his head to mend the painful silliness that seems to append,
And focus on the grace of life in the now, irrespective to the journey’s end.
Distinctive yet rebellious, perceptions tend to send,
For his allure’s an unorthodox merit of being a maverick among men.


I wrote this poem several years ago based on my impression of Blair Stuart. I hit the nail on the head, so to speak.... :)

I have changed the music up to Bruce Springsteen - Drive All Night which in my opinion fits this post and Blair's personality the best... Take a listen... remember people will show you how they feel.
Need your loving Sugar...

Introduction:
“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”
― C. JoyBell C.


"Up On Broadway"
by Van Morrison
Up on Broadway
Far away from trouble
Up on broadway, baby
Feel liek we're living in a bubble
And the city lights
Stretching out way down below
Up on Broadway, baby
It's where I wanna go

Up on Broadway
When the night is quiet and still
Up on Broadway, baby
High upon the hill
Stretching out across the bay
And the early morning light
Up on Broadway
Man, it's outta sight

Down to North Beach
In the parks of the West
That's the place that I like to go
Like to go the best
Take a walk with me
Just to see what we can see
Up on Broadway, baby
Sounds just like a symphony

Up on Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway
So far away, far away from trouble
Up on Broadway, baby
Feel like we're living in a bubble
And the city lights are stretching
Stretching way down in the city down below
Up on Broadway, baby
Got to get on with the show

Up on Broadway, baby
Got to get on with the show
Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway
Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, baby
Take a walk with me
Take a walk with me
In the eveining time
In the eveining time's where we gotta be
Up on Broadway, baby
Up on Broadway, give me five
Up on Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway
It's so good to be alive
Give me five
Give me five
Give me five
It's so good to be alive
Up on Broadway
Give me five
Give me five
So good to be alive
Up on Broadway, baby
Up on Broadway, Broadway

Introduction: 
​
“Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.”
― Rumi





​
"Be Patient With My Love"
Mighta done it this time
Mighta drank too much wine
Mighta said somethin' that
I just can't take back

Always push till you cry
And I just don't know why
Tell me there's a way to turn around
On this way to goodbye

'Cause I'm comin' back
Back to my senses
I'm comin' back
Like holy redemption
I'm comin' back to the man that I was
So, please don't give up
Be patient with my love

No, I never fight fair
But I'm tryin', I swear
Old habits don't break
I heard someone say
(Heard someone say)

Ooh, yeah, I could use some Jesus
A little more prayer
But if I could make it to the middle
Could you meet me there?

'Cause I'm comin' back
Back to my senses
I'm comin' back
Like holy redemption
I'm comin' back to the man that I was
So, please don't give up
Oh, be patient with my love

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Ooh yeah
Be patient with my love
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Ooh

I'm comin' back
Back to my senses
I'm comin' back
Like holy redemption
I'm comin' back to the man that I was
So, please don't give up
Don't give up
Just be patient with my love

Ooh yeah
'Cause I'm comin' back to love
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
I'm comin' back to love

Oh, I'm comin' back to who I was
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
So, just be patient with my love

Oh-oh-oh
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Be patient with my love
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Oh, I'm comin' back to love
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

    “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” 
    ― Pablo Neruda, 
    100 Love Sonnets
