I see you sitting so innocently on my desk. Your screen is black BUT somehow your energy pulsates across the room. Activating my brain to wonder what I would find if I awakened your screen.

Nothing like Fresh Picked Raspberries
Tiny globes of sunshine’s pure sweetness Hide behind green leaves on thorny shrubs Pick one to pop in mouth- Heavenly!
