Quote by Jimi Hendrix

“I have lived here before the days of ice, of course this is why I am so concerned, and I come back to find the stars misplaced and the smell of a world that has burned.

They'd disappeared inside the woods, and stolen apples from the farm next door, and floated down the stream in her little boat as one silken hour spun itself into the next. On a clear, still night, they'd dug the old bicycles out of the shed and cycled together along the dusty lane, racing, laughing, breathing in salt from the warm air as moonlight made the stones, still hot from the day, shine lustrous white.”
