symbolic gestures manipulate real feelings to achieve an end
it doesn’t take much more than a simple sentence to boost our spirits
if we don’t adjust our focus, we will end up with blurry pictures
sometimes the journal and the photo library stare back vacantly
it is the basics that we all seem to turn to when we seek comfort
we know its still there we trust that it will be there with no guarantees
when in the moment we come to appreciate simple rituals
an empty hanger is hooked on the fence outside a closed restaurant
some people will base their serious beliefs on an obvious joke
not everyone has a cat that will assist in washing their hands
