"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

"i am wandering, as the world finds me." - michael evans

the moon has become a dancer
at this festival of love
this dance of light.

this sacred blessing,
this divine love,
beckons us
to a world beyond
only lovers can see
with their eyes of fiery passion.

they are the chosen ones
who have surrendered.
once they were particles of light
now they are the radiant sun.

they have left behind
the world of decietful games.
they are the privileged lovers
who create a new world
with their eyes of fiery passion.

Rumi
