Mis temas favoritos



The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.

Man, The Great Pretender

I will survive the music of the night
for at high noon the sound of silence reigns
and though it’s time to say goodbye, my plight
is knowing that the sound of music’s strains

will vibrate with the earth songs. Its demise,
caused by tectonic plates that tore apart,
when nations of the world tried to surprise
each other with their bombs. The planet’s heart

and mountains now return to sender’s blast;
for though we are the champions of lust,
mushrooms bridge over troubled waters; cast
a pall across my way of deadly dust.

Gone are my sweet Suzanne’s strawberry fields;
forever with pretense that each war yields.



Songs used: The Great Pretender, I Will Survive, The Music of the Night, High Noon, The Sound of Silence, Time to say Goodbye, The Sound of Music, Earth Song, Return to Sender, We are the Champions, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, My Way, Suzanne, Strawberry Fields Forever


p.s. Syl, Bridge Over Troubled Waters was originally composed, recorded and sung by Simon and Garfunkel in January, 1970 and was their best ever single plus it received a Grammy for Record of the Year and another for Song of the Year. Elvis, Aretha and other artists released it later but theirs never attained the level of worldwide greatness seen by the original.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.
