&quot;The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.&quot;- Coco Chanel<br /> Life isn&#039;t about surviving the storm, it&#039;s about learning to dance in the rain.

I'll sit and waft away my summer days,
On the backs of half-forgotten dreams,
Marigold petals and angel wings,
They'll float off and slowly charge the stars,
Strike for a moment each color,
That rakes its painter's brush across a sleeping sky,
Farewell my friends, goodbye,
Tip my hat to a blinking moon,
Farewell my friends, goodbye.
