A fire blazes beneath the waves.
That bright light, that once blinded,
gets dimmer as it slowly drowns
in the distant depths of yesterdays.

A squid and a whale motion ignorantly,
escorting the diminishing light down.
A school of barracuda look on obliviously.
Echoes of silence reply from the dark depths.

It begins on the Moon, bright and blue,
the ground has Spring and the light is new.
Until it comes crashing, splashing some brine,
sinking down to the bottomless heart of the ocean?

A jar of honey
Lies next to basket
Holding a pitcher
And some unfinished lace
A bouquet of clover
Tied together with a
Greenish-yellow ribbon
Lays next to a glass of water
'Tis yet another still life
That I quite enjoy!

Have you found your heart
Hidden in a box?
Open up your eyes
Please, open up your eyes.

And reach into your soul
The petals are your tears
Oh, why don't you know?
Why don't you know-oh-oh-oh . . . .

That days are not real
It's all in yer mind
I really wished you knew.
Oh, how I wished you knew.


Refrain:
Open up your heart
Reach into your soul
Open up your heart
Open up your heart . . . .

Do you have an open heart?
Yes, you have an open heart!
Take in the Light . . . .



Have you found your peace?
Free it in the wind
Oh, just let it go . . . .
Just let it go!

Have you sent the autumn leaves
Can you count them all?
Oh, why don't see?
Why...don't you see......

That light cannot be caught
'Cause you're a part of it
Open up your heart
Open up your heart.

sub-entry: 'I'm So Tired'  - Lennon / McCartney

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No,no,no.

I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid ***.

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
I love the sunshine
Dancing through my sweet bedroom
I'm greeted by light

*~Marian~
Mourning doves landing,
Gentle branches— place for wings,
Hawk already there.
One dark and dismal day
The sun didn't shine
The clouds filled the sky
Small winds rustled the leaves
Tiny drizzles made raindrops fall
Such a dark and dismal day
Shadows gave the sky a haunting look
That dark and dismal day
Distant thunder had rumbled that day
Now yet another storm
Is on it's way
This is a dark and dismal day
!

It's a mighty dark and dismal day here!!!
I do wish the sun would shine, but as it is
another storm is on the way!!!
So here's my inspiration!!! :P ~<3
what spawn of madness lies behind the crooked lens
chains tied to the entropy of ends
chaos bound to nothing but ourselves;
now unfolding fate that we’ve propelled.
somehow now, beyond the folds
withholding beyond reach;
the light of every star unknown
will rapture; be unleashed.
so I may bend and break the lines
of all the rules they teach
i’ve made my own,
this world is mine,
no longer shall I sleep.
Happy Birthday to a poetess,
Whose name is Emma S,
Hope your day is beautiful;
Your poetry is wonderful!

Hope your wish comes true,
Happy Birthday from me to you,
Hope your day shines like gold;
With colours bright and bold.

Now eat some cake and ice-cream,
Tonight have the best of dreams,
So we just want to say;
"Emma S, Happy Birthday!"*

*~Marian~
Happy, HAPPY Birthday, Emma S!!!! :) ~<3
Child's summer crusades,
How the wind loves the daises,
