When I Look Back

Change The Writing On The Wall

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Sit here beside me and let’s reminisce about all the stuff we did

In the moments before we

Lost our innocence

Escape into the silence of our hearts and dreams desires

Never second guessing hope and happiness

Come with me to sacred places that we traded for the noise that has dwindled and

Extinguished the souls fire. Help me rediscover and resurrect the past with a beauty that the quiet understands
