Sounds Like:sounds a bit like rushing rivers washing past stones, some smooth, some jagged. think of drowning rain - the sky zipping open with no warning. think of custard sunlight that wakes you sweetly in the morning. think of western sunsets, where night and day cling like lovers. think of whistling wind seducing the last leaf from each tree. think of cold, clear nights where majestic stars come calling. think of waking from a good, long dream.
