She  rolled  over,
       and  buried  half  her  face
             in her pillow,
        and  smiled slightly.

   It was then, the overwhelming
          realization hit me
               that there is
         so much more to life
     than  simply  surviving  it.

            And it was then I
     understood  that  we  are
                  mosaics -
            pieces  of  light,

                              love,

                              history,

                              stars -

       glued together with Magic
                                   and Music
                                   and Words.
