that breaks the SOUND BARRIER,
just makes much MORE noise
than a broken HEART.

does not shoes any gratitude to its
past.

in the sunrise of another world
I will sing to you:

TRUST your DREAMS,
because the GATE to ETERNITY
is hidden there.

(Khalil Gibran)

God gave your mind WINGS,
which you can use to rise
into the wide firmament of LOVE and FREEDOM.

And you PITIFUL creature
CLIP these wings with your OWN hand
and allow your own soul to
CREEP along the floor like an insect.

(Khalil Gibran)
