A thousand ways

Today, I had a thousand things to do until I remembered the way you glow with Love when we touch & suddenly, it was clear to me there is really only one thing to do in this life & always a thousand ways each day to do it.

The dreaming tree

Standing here

The old man said to me

Long before these crowded streets

Here stood my dreaming tree

Below it he would sit

For hours at a time

Now progress takes away

What forever took to find

And now he's falling hard

He feels the falling dark

How he longs to be

Beneath his dreaming tree

Conquered fear to climb

A moment froze in time

When the girl who first he kissed

Promised him she'd be his

Remembered mother's words

There beneath the tree

No matter what the world

You'll always be my baby

Mommy come quick

The dreaming tree has died

The air is growing thick

A fear he cannot hide

The dreaming tree has died.

Oh

Have you no pity

This thing I do

I do not deny it

All through this smile

As crooked as danger

I do not deny

I know in my mind

I would leave you now

If I had the strength to

I would leave you up

To your own devices

Will you not talk

Can you take pity

I don't ask much

But won't you speak

Please

From the start

She knew she had it made

Easy up 'til then

For sure she'd make the grade

Adorers came in hordes

To lay down in her wake

She gave it all she had

But treasures slowly fade

Now she's falling hard

She feels the fall of dark

How did this fall apart

She drinks to fill it up

A smile of sweetest flowers

Wilted so and soured

Black tears stain the cheeks

That once were so admired

She thinks when she was small

There on her father's knee

How he had promised her

You'll always be my baby

Daddy come quick

The dreaming tree has died

I can't find my way home

There is no place to hide

The dreaming tree has died

Oh

If I had the strength to

I would leave you up

To your own devices

Will you not talk

Can you take pity

I don't ask much

But won't you speak

Please

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Take me back

Save me please

Wintry...

Nature is a good teacher; he who can read the nature well, he can learn sagacious things belong to life from it. Once you stepped in the nature, your philosophical education starts. A black vulture teaches you many things; a bear teaches you many things; a bird making its nest and a rosehip which resists being frozen, they teach you many things!

Silence song of trees

Silence song of trees

in sleeping time so quiet but

your heart can hear it

With this post I'm going in a break for a few days, enjoy your time :-)

Life wants

I hope someday you see this is all life wants:

for you to be your own kind of beautiful & not the kind

that makes you forget who you are.

Snow was falling...

Snow was falling,

so much like stars

filling the dark trees

that one could easily imagine

its reason for being was nothing more

than prettiness.

Friday Five, red and a Christmas song

Good morning,

it's Friday again and time for Willy Nilly Friday, Five on Friday and Soulfood Friday.

Today without big words - I haven't always the energy for writing...

Three red images, I like the warmth of red in cold wintertime

and Christmas seems for me always as an "red holiday"

A beautiful "red" video you can see here

At last a Polish Christmas song, what I like.

Have a wonderful soul-warming Christmas all :-)

Last begonies...

Deep in their roots all flowers keep the light.
