dreamers.
They see things in the soft haze of a spring day
or in the red fire of a long winter's evening.

nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light
which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
Woodrow Wilson
At sunrise everything is luminous but
