			<description>Each movement   with purpose.                      Every stroke      with care;slimming down some areas   while                              others start to flare.Amorphous once but      shapes begin to showwhat potential lies within us all                 and how we each can grow. ..</description>

			<description>Deep in the myriad of tunnels   a bundle twitches                   to life. The sweet scent of fresh foliage permeates  the air-          beckoning  from above.Leaving its nest for the first time in months    the mouse ventures forth                  discarded feathers and  fluffs o..</description>

			<description>Fingers twitch and                 throat constricts:Sometimes life is just a b***h.No one said that things were fairor that you'd always breathe fresh air.The broken thing that ails you so..is it something you control?If yes, then do- and all will mend.If no, let go- and that's the ..</description>

			<title>Snow in April</title>
			<description>Down it falls for days on end                    never ceasing as it ever descends. Some turns to slush and seeps into our socks        forming small   toes  to icicle pops.Why won't it stop?           Please...                                   make it stop.</description>
