white birds fly out
ur sweet mouth
as
hesitation straddles
a deadly no-go zone


1.
The silhouette of a small child sitting atop a stone ledge
Slowly picking the butterfly wings off his *perfect eyes


I will follow your sunken steps in the soft snow
Lead(ing) the way


Eagle flies lone over lime-hued cemetery


2.
Hope to find a more quiet place
not to think
to breathe
to be

(personne n'est esclave)


to let go
some day
...

Beautiful pictures flit over and over….over and over…endless…..like a wonderful, old projector movie-reel…..fast becomes seeming slow-mo….

Contemplating the meaning of speed...I guess it's all relative.





Sub-entry: ‘ONLY YESTERDAY’ - Carpenters
                    
Songwriters: CARPENTER, Richard Lynn / BETTIS, John


After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do

Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light
Filling the world surrounding me

When I hold you
(*) Baby, Baby
Feels like maybe things will be all right
Baby, Baby
Your love's made me
Free as a song singin' forever

(**) Only yesterday when I was sad
And I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave
The past and all its tears behind me

Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only Yesterday

I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us
Share it with me

The best is about to be
So much is left for us to see
When I hold you.
