“When one door closes a hundred open.” Spanish Proverb
Drink in those rare moments when,
Passion and precision become one.
Our fortune lurks behind the door,
Lo! fear not when the curtain closes.
Hence at end of tunnel coruscates a
Light, visible far from acres hundred.
Fate thus leaves an alternative open.
