    I do not see 4 seasons;
    I do see warm and cold, rainy and bright.
    I do walk in a reflection and feel a year gone by.
    And I feel more is not needed.
    Than the palet of your dreams…

  • butchart replied

    when dreams become the reality…. there is no need for need

  • hybryds

    hybryds

    You’r are a lucky one, to have no need for need after dreams , for some, the hunger stays,but this piece tempered my Hunger for a few seconds.
    thank you for fullfilling seconds of my needs, yet the Hunger is still there.

  • butchart replied

    perhaps you should dream more and stay longer….feeding off the seperate reality may help sustain you in this one…........if your hunger brings you pain.. i hope it is satiated by knowledge and truth someday soon….......b
