And as we stand on the edge of darkness
Let our chant fill the void
That others may know
However many ways there may be of being alive,
it is certain that there are vastly more ways of being dead.
-- Richard Dawkins (The Blind Watchmaker)
When frightened wakest thou in darkest night
Unsure if ghost or dream did thee alight,
Remind thyself of how I loved thee so
When life upon this earth my soul did know.
Think then of joyous days together shared;
No other happiness with that compared.
But soft, my dearest one, why dost thou cry--
Thinkst thou that love so strong could ever die?
Its vessel gone, now boundless it remains,
Expanded into natural domains;
Though changed in form, still physic'ly expressed;
My love and I through it, do still exist.
For as the dark, by night, I thee embrace;
And as the sun, by day, caress thy face.
-- (c) LJ, Night Sonnet
Everyday grows longer and longer
My life is a game of give and take
So take a chance and you'll grow older
Don't let your feelings roll you over.
Through all those lonely, lonely nights
There is an essence, that is you.
A feeling, a memory, just a vision of the past.
Love sets all free. So be free.
Being free, as in ecstasy
We will travel through the enchanted lands
Of endless sunsets and sunrises.
We will follow the rainbow of endless love.
If you love me, as we say.
-- David Battalia
Dull, dull gray
The colour of our times.
Cool, cool space
That I still hope to find
Far beyond the veil
The sound of whispers
and moans.
-- Crowded House, Whispers and Moans
I've touch'd the highest point of all my greatness;
And from that full meridian of my glory
I haste now to my setting. I shall fall,
Like a bright exhalation in the evening
And no man see me more.
-- Shakespeare
Will I wake up in your room,
Share one piece of your life?
I'd give anything
To be a fly upon the wall,
And hear your whispers
And moans.
-- Crowded House, Whispers and Moans
