Laura🌻

To the exstinguished lights 

Amazingly bright

Place right hand over your heart 

Sustain those who remain

              Beautiful! I adore how you say in such a fine selection of few words, what it would take me 100 times the syllables to even attempt and I would still never paint the images you paint so well. Excellent! You're a gift!
