Lines that linger on...


Long after the page has been turned...long after the movie credits have rolled...long after the laptop has been shutdown...some lines linger on, for no apparent reason. Such is the power of the written word, i think...the words and lines...they stay on with you, they come back to you...they linger on...

Some of those that have stayed with me...
