To be with you is
To be bathed in light is
To eat ambrosia is
To drink from clear springs is
To sniff the earthy smell of the first rains is
To sniff the earthy smell of the first rains is
To feel the first warning chill of the Harmattan winds is
To stand in that indistinguishable line in the rainbow
Where Indigo melds into violet is
To snuff out a candle and follow the smoke Whose trail is the scribbling of wonders unknown is
To hover in the timeless instance between tick and tock
Where one second greets the next is
To stand on a hair and straddle the line
Where love is hate and war is peace is
To know the fragility and moment of that moment
Where life becomes death and makes way for another birth
To be with you is to know the futility of fear
And the wonder that is a pure and simple love

Heya! I know this is sort of off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does building a well-established website such as yours require a large amount of work?
I’m completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and views
online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.
Thankyou!
