It is a restless moment.
She has kept her head lowered,
to give him a chance to come closer.
But he could not, for lack of courage.
She turns and walks away.
That era has passed.
Nothing that belonged to it exists any more.
He remembers those vanished years.
As though looking through a dusty window pane,
the past is something he could see, but not touch.
And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct.

come through the trees
of the hills of the seas
and we’ll dance all over the sand
the pipers will sing
and sand fleas will sting
but we’ll dance touching fingers and hands
the sun’s going down
and there’s no one around
to spy on our spirited prancing
you sing a song
and i’ll step right along
and giggle at sounds of romancing
the moon moving aft
will look down and laugh
at our sillies and sighs and fun
and we’ll dance o’er the sea
your mind, soul, and me
and never come back till we’re done.

New Rules for the New Economy (via azspot)
I want to be that “successful idea-artist” who is free from in-your-face-marketing-messages-every-channel-all-the-time-especially-on-every-tiny-insignificant-self-absorbed-micro-blogging-social-media-platform.

I spilled an easter egg today
the yolk ran out and ran away
up the road and over the bridge
and jumped on a cloud floating next to the ridge
I broke my irish flute last week
instead of a toot, it made a squeak
so I put it to rest in its wee little bed
and gave it some cake and a pat on the head
I dropped my cat upon her head
she said that’s fine I sure ain’t dead
I’ll read a book and drink some tea
and all the birds will smile at me

Apple pie and mango juice
go very well together
Apple pie and mango juice
in the sunny weather
When I eat my apple pie
Mango juice is close nearby
When I drink my mango juice
Apple pie is on the loose
Apple pie, apple pie, shiny like a firefly
mango juice, mango juice,
drink it all down with a WHOOSH
Apple pie and mango juice
go very well together
Apple pie and mango juice
in the sunny weather
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.” —Mother Teresa (via kari-shma)
