**THOUGHTS
Just think of stepping on shore, and finding it heaven.
Of taking hold of a hand, and finding it God's hand.
Of breathing new air, and finding it celestial air.
Of feeling invigorated, and finding it immortality.
Of passing from storm, and tempest, to an unbroken calm.
Of waking up and find it home.
