There are choirs singing in your head.
If you listen, you will hear the music.
It is the song of angels.

they have no value, make no sense.
Strain to hear the song of angels.
Listen to the melody within your soul.

The birds fly in the sky but they don't leave any footprints.

there is no point. He has lived that moment so totally
that what is the need to look back again and again?
He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.
