wild flower...........

i was a kid when "wildflower" by skylark was a hit, and not only did i love it because it was a beautiful song, but i always related to it on some level.....almost felt like it was written FOR me. that would have been odd at the time, because, as i said, i was just a young girl. recently....our local oldies station has started putting the song in their rotation, and every time i hear it....again....it touches something in my soul because i relate to it so deeply. it's a heartbreaking song, but as my heart breaks often, i can still be thankful for such a release! thank you writers and skylark!

She's faced the hardest times,

You could imagine

And many times,

Her eyes fought back the tears

And when her youthful world,

Was about to fall in

Each time her slender shoulders,

Bore the weight of all her fears

And a sorrow no one hears

Still rings in midnight silence

In her ears

Let her cry,

For she's a lady

Let her dream

For she's a child

Let the rain,

Fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower

Growing wild

And if by chance,I should hold her

Let me hold her for a time

But if allowed just one possession

I would pick her from the garden,To be mine

Ummmm....................

Be careful how you touch her,

For she'll awaken

And sleep's the only freedom,

That she knows

And when you walk into her eyes,

You won't believe

The way she's always payin'

For a debt she never owes

And a silent wind still blows

That only she can hear

And so, she goes

protection...........

i wish i believed in amulets and charms, because i could sure use something to protect me from the evil that surrounds me. not sure i can survive all this negative energy..........

just one victory

i think i am going to try to make this song my new mantra. there is too much going completely and totally wrong in my life, but life isn't all about me. i need to just forget about it and concentrate on the world at large. give me just one victory, LORD! thanks to dear todd, once again, for inspiring, enlightening and entertaining me.

on to a totally different frame of thought........geddy the bird also seems to be quite fond of jane's addiction. freak. hahahahaha!

We've been waiting so long

We've been waiting so long, oh

We've been waiting for the sun to rise and shine

Shining still to give us the wil

lCan you hear me, the sound of my voice?

I am here to tell you I have made my choice

I've been listening to what's been going down

There's just too much talk and gossip going 'round

You may think that I'm a fool but I know the answer

Words become a tool, anyone can use them

Take the golden rule as the best example

Eyes that have seen will know what I mean

Hold that line, baby hold that line

Get up boys and hit 'em one more time

We may be losing now but we can't stop trying

So hold that line, baby hold that line

If you don't know what to do about a world of trouble

You can pull it through if you need to and i

fYou believe it's true, it will surely happen

Shining still, to give us the will

We've been waiting so long, waiting so long

Been waiting so long, waiting so long

Shining still, to give us the will

Bright as the day, to show us the way

Somehow, someday

We need just one victory and we're on our way

We've been prayin' for it all day

And we're fightin' for it all nigh

tTo give us just one victory, it will be all right

We may feel about to fall but we go down fighting

You will hear the call if you only listen

Underneath it all we are here together

Shining still, to give us the will

Now bright as the day, to show us the way

Hold that line, baby hold that line

Get up boys and hit 'em one more time

We may be losing now but we can't stop trying

So hold that line, baby hold that line

Hold that line, baby hold that line

Get up boys and hit 'em one more time

cool change

i need a break/vacation/holiday/retreat/cool change in the worst sort of way, but am pretty sure that it's not going to happen. if you are out there....and you care: pray for me. please.

Time for a cool change

I know that it's time for a cool change

Now that my life is so prearranged

I know that it's time for a cool change
I've never been romantic

And sometimes I don't care

I know it may sound selfish

But let me breathe the air, yeah

Let me breathe the air

star

you know who you are:

So they've made you a star

Now your head's in a cloud

And you're walkin' down the street

With your feet are off the ground

They read in the press all about your success

They believe every word they've been told

After all you've been through tell what will you do

When you find yourself out in the cold

Ah tell me Ah tell me

When you appear on the stage

There's a standing ovation

You really live out your performance

You're the biggest sensation

You breeze through the door and when you take the floor

You expect to have it all to yourself

After all you've been through tell me what will you do

When you find yourself back on the shelf

Ah, tell me Ah, tell me

the filth and the fury

was watching "the filth and the fury".....a doc on the band, the sex pistols. discovered that my bird, geddy, likes their music. rock.

art for art's sake.....

had some random stranger ask me yesterday if i was an "artist." i can't even count how many times i've been asked this question. apparently the way i look and dress gives other the impression that i'm terribly creative!! i love it....especially considering that my mode of dress isn't nearly as ecclectic as it used to be, or as i would like it to be. so...yeah. made me happy to be asked yesterday. thank you!! you made my heart smile!
