The stories that play In your head over and over again Reflections of a hidden gem Slight shifts of perception It's in the inflection And tone That demand your attention Between inhale and exhale This thought sweeps you away “Maybe - just maybe They’re legends”, you say And maybe- just maybe The treasure isn’t in [...]
