Beautiful planet,
Revealed by sight,
Music of nature,
Translated by hearing,
Night’s gentle breeze,
Experienced by touch,
Savory flavors,
Enhanced by taste,
Alluring aromas,
Captured by smell,
The wonders of living,
One gathers by sense.

The Longest Minute
A minute. Sixty seconds to say goodbye. That’s all the time that I had left with him as the needle slid into his leg.

They said that this was the best thing that we could do for him, a last kind act for a best friend…but if that were the case, then why did my heart feel so heavy?
