Meet me at sunset
'Choose to love yourself '

As he basked in the glow of sunrise
The zen monkey and the lotus flower

through your soul.
I prefer to temper it
with rose colored glasses,
as you know.
With my glasses on
I can see past the ego
to the wounds at
war within.
I can see that the
past, present, and
future are all
an illusion...
created for one purpose
to tell the story
of how we want to
