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!

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 :-)
