Sending the Earth some much needed Love!


Earth
By: Imogen Heap

Baby behave we'll make it work
You're not golden and I'm getting tired
Act like you own the place when really you've only just arrived
I caught first glimmers in hides and skins
Look who's all grown up, black swanning about the solar winds
You're gonna lose it all and find yourself on your knees
So get a grip and you might flow, reverse the great slow bleed
I've tried patience but you always want a war
This house won't tolerate any more
Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and make it up to me now
The cold shoulder folded arms and looking up
You've never listened and carry on careless regardless
This is not a fire drill and if we hold any hope
It's harmonic connection and stereo symbiosis
These legoland empires choking out my now
You're everywhere, everywhere multiplying around me
Child, a strain on my heart
This rock can't tolerate any more
Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and make it up to me now
Baby behave we'll make it work
You're only what you give back
Are you with me?

Goldfish Under Ice


Goldfish Under Ice

Waiting for a change
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the spring
To make this ice come undone

Longing for the warmth
Of a long summer's day
Oh how I'll be free
Once this winter's gone away

Attitude is Altitude!

























People are like stained-glass windows.

They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in
their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.

Is your friend giving you the cold shoulder?




































What can these two be saying to each other?


"Who is that strange woman taking a picture of us?  What do you mean you can't see her?"
"If I should accidentally fall on you, would you be angry at me?"
"Where is that young man with the hat and face he promised you?  A little disrespectful, making you wait like this."
"You, my friend, are a very good listener."
"I just love winter, don't you?"

Where the north winds blow...





























A lonely fir-tree standeth
On a height where north winds blow ;
It sleepeth, with whitened garment,
Enshrouded by ice and snow.



From the poem: The Fir-Tree and The Palm

Snow White




Little Snow-White

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

     Once upon a time in midwinter, when the snowflakes were falling like feathers from heaven, a queen sat sewing at her window, which had a frame of black ebony wood. As she sewed she looked up at the snow and pricked her finger with her needle. Three drops of blood fell into the snow. The red on the white looked so beautiful that she thought to herself, "If only I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood in this frame."

A Passageway to Mystery


Just a hole in a tree,
Why, what else could it be?


A handy spot in which to hide.
A refuge from the snow outside.

I crouch down, surprised to see,
There’s plenty of room for me.

Once inside I look around.
It’s cozy here, underground.

On the floor lies a golden key
And a passageway to mystery.

Surrounded by the warm brown wood,
I feel much braver than I should.

I hear someone call my name.
Should I head back, or remain?

I take the key and down I go.
Where this leads, I’ve got to know.

Whatever happened to Rosemary?
I saw her last by the hole in the tree.
