Today I Told A Story
Today I told a story, a very simple story. And you want to know why I told it in the first place? Because as I looked up at the sky in this breezy winter morning, and I saw no sun with only clouds above my head, something came upon me. In the midst of this dreadful cold day I was inevitably reminded of the warm days I spent by the sea, and with that I was reminded of beauty. Of how simple and carefree magnificence can be. And this reminded me of us, of our story.
