Only from the heart can you touch the sky.
Love so needs to love that it will endure almost anything, even abuse, just to flicker for a moment. But the sky's mouth is kind, its song will never hurt you, for I sing those words.
That moon which the sky never saw even in dreams has risen again
Bring the sky beneath your feet and listen to celestial music everywhere.
Become the sky. Take an axe to the prison wall. Escape.
Rush out in the rain to be soaked with the sky.
Love calls - everywhere and always. We're sky bound. Are you coming?
The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.
You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence or in absence.
When someone mentions the gracefulness of the night sky, climb up on the roof and dance and say, like this?
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Lovers think they are looking for each other, but there is only one search: wandering This world is wandering that, both inside one transparent sky. In here there is no dogma and no heresy.
The soul: a wide listening sky with thousands of candles.
Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon; How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.
