More Quotes By Scott Hastie
Be brave enough to never yearn For that you cannot hold close In your heart forever. Tread lightly, cherish compassion And live in the moment without fear.
A stream of primal voices Whispering in the breeze of your heart To urge you on.
To have been where you have been And to still have joy, Dazzling in your heart, Now there’s a thing to make the whole world smile.
The sacred bequest Of times long spent with your heart That saturate and illuminate you now So piercingly…
Be content to love, to dazzle in the light, If only for moments… And then be gone, With gladness in your heart, Before the creeping shadows Claim too much your sadness at leaving.
