In that basement we were exactly who we wanted to be, <br /> rock stars and poets, artists and designers. <br /> That basement was our haven <br /> because when we walked up those stairs <br /> we were just teenage kids again <br /> with dreams that were just too big.

Amazing grace
Outstanding beauty
Miraculously elegant
As she walks across the floor
Her eyes
Piercing and yet
Gentle
Her legs long
And strong
When she walks
It’s as if she is
Floating
And despite of
She is
Falling
Falling very fast
She is descending
In an everlasting spiral
Stumbling
Over herself
Inside of
Herself
By
Herself
But you would
Never know
Because she is
Amazing grace
Outstanding beauty
Miraculously elegant
As she walks across the floor

This is about me..it's quite personal, and yet still kind of broad-ish.
