come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
the only source of strength to endure dark nights
was a stream of light I had glimpsed
through the dark stormy clouds
when you showed grace through sacrifice
and placed a piece of faith in me.
I fought the fights, endured blistering scars,
and walked miles upon miles of roads
because of this gem of blessing.
allow me to bestow this also upon you
to protect you throughout your journey.
may you find peace in hardships
may you find joy in all you do.

when you feel shades of life
slipping into roots of your spine
bringing slow, murky weight to your eyes
covering labels of black and white
when you feel the internal clock needle
pushing you to make a choice a little
too fast for your own good
drink a warm bowl of white clam chowder
a soulful companion, an unconditional lover,
your pupils will open to what was unknown
flooding your nerves with blessings enthrone
yes, it takes a white clam chowder to experience it. now go on!
