Favorite Quote:
The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.
-John Foster Dulles

The mountains, the birds,
Like to soar up high.
Below the clouds,
About to fall.
It just means,
What you see.
Because your eyes might be deceived.

The author's comments:
As they say "A man's ceiling might be another man's floor." To add, what you see might not and is probably not the whole picture, even if you think your not missing any jigsaw piece, because you probably are.
This poem has lots of meaning to it, depends on your perspective and life experience, one might say this is talking about an illusion called life and another might say another.
