Peacing my thoughts
Before the world darks
I forwarded myself into the light
Believing that magic still exits
I hearted my feelings
For a few minutes
The golden possibled my being
Magnetically
I listened to my intuition
And didn’t science my soul
I let go of expectations
I was sevening again

PS: Off topic – This is something that many blog owners don’t know happens on their blogs – but encounter it when commenting on others. After readers submit their comment, a “Subscription” popup box appears. This is something WP added (and annoys many). I recently learned how to remove it if you don’t want it.
If you want to disable it, go to your Dashboard, then Settings > Newsletter …. In the first box, turn off “Enable subscription pop-up for commenters” …. then Save.

Thank you! I just followed your directions, it was easy to do, and I sure hope more people disable that popup. Shame on WP for cluttering our sites, but the fix was easy enough.
