something inside...


Jonathan Rhys Meyers-from the film
August Rush ~ 'Something Inside'...

When the one thing you're looking for
Is nowhere to be found
And you back stepping all of your moves
Trying to figure it out
You wanna reach out
You wanna give in
Your head's wrapped around what's around the next bend
You wish you could find something warm
'Cause you're shivering cold
It's the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on
It's the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on

'Cause if you hadn't found me
I would have found you
I would have found you

So long you've been running in circles
'Round what's at stake
But now the times come for your feet to stand still in one place
You wanna reach out
You wanna give in
Your head's wrapped around what's around the next bend
You wish you could find something warm
'Cause you're shivering cold
It's the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on
It's the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on

'Cause if you hadn't found me
I would have found you
I would have found you

It was your first taste of love
Living upon what you had

It's the first thing you see when you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on

'Cause if you hadn't found me
I would have found you
I would have found you
I would have found you
I would have found you

*a modern day Fairy Tale...

Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor...Opus 85 ~ taken from one of 4 movements, this one: Adagio ~ Moderato...
lyrics: Steve Erdody and Jonathan Rhys Meyers

meet me halfway...


meet me halfway, my love

I am very near

all I ever asked was for you
to meet me halfway

It's as it should be...

but be sure of this
you are more than halfway into my heart

you are ALL the way into my heart!

so meet me, halfway!

the guest house...



The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.


Rumi

third eye blind...





the minds eye can hold a prison

within, it's empty cavity

devoid of matter

recklessness ensues



inside; third eye blind

unaware

unseeing

untestified

lost in quiet desperation



seeds of hope planted...



though dark it remains

caught between reality and imagined darkness?



one can see

smell

taste

and

touch

though what lies deep, is still yet caged

crying for release

endlessly longing

looking for an out



a final release from this



abyss

reaching...


reaching...

reaching within, reaching out
for you

wanting so, to touch your hands
your face

to hold it
to behold it

reaching...
yet knowing full well
the tide, it comes, it goes

the tide, like you,
comes within my reach
then releases back to the sea

but each time the waves roll in
there is something different!
something new!
something beautiful!
never the same twice

always a sweet surprise
a new depth to be discovered

this is what I see in you, Baby!

and this is why,
I'm still reaching!

nouvelle vague - dance with me...

a French musical collective led by musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Their name is a play on words referring simultaneously to their "Frenchness" and "artiness" (the '60s new wave of cult French cinema), the source of their songs (all covers of punk rock, post-punk, and New Wave songs), and their use of '60s Bossa nova-style arrangements. (from Wikipedia)



I just love this! love it! makes me smile!

cuz when it's all said and done, you keep on dancin'



Hope you're dancin' through your weekend!
