Tear Drops
The stench engages the opening of the tear ducts. A request for change to nourish the pain of hunger or alcoholism is voiced by a less fortunate. After a brisk “NO”, realization of a childhood high school idol is focused and the tears are now of sorrow. Be thankful for the blessings you possess today, foolishly taking them for granted may cause tomorrow to take them away.
Taming the Wild
Intensity in your performance at times may not be noticed by an unobservant self-appointed slave master. The knowledge attained throughout the period of overwhelming stress is therefore the property of the beholder and can never be repossessed. The gift of information is what gives the strategic upper hand and produces the awareness of the advantageous predicament.
Worth the Wait
Unless you have met the person on the image, judgment should not be concluded from a two-dimensional portrait. It is the third dimension which gives life to a photograph. Though the frame may be aged the contents within its border is what holds the value.
Zip It
Though it may seem outlandish to grow patience in rocky terrain, there should be more effort applied in nurturing and cultivating so that fruit may be produced. At times the right amount of torque will keep the tongue from lashing out idiotically.
Foolish Reign
The advantage will be in your favor for a limited time when treating the gullible with disrespect. Innocence is heavily guarded by winged spirits who have no problem executing the vengeance warranted by the acts of imprudence. Ugly behavior is frowned upon and is usually very costly.
