seen through the ever-knowing eyes of the mind
a path
where the sky and landscape, always changing
alive
with the thoughts and emotions of human hearts
a dance
played out in your heart to a trance-like beat
freedom
no rules, just follow your instincts 'till you find your way
unique
each is different and captures your attention with its ever-changing tone
easy
open your mind and let your thoughts roam free
magic
time and time again, never failing to amaze me
