'Like the moon loves the sun' (Abb.)

Like the moon loves the sun

Everyone wants someone to love

Every wave needs shadow to shine

Juxtapose the dark to the light side.

You brighten my day, I want to guide you through your night

Been here before but that's alright

Know the forest footpaths that haunt the mind

Tame any monsters that you may find.

These friends ain't bad once you meet 'em twice

Twilight's made when worlds break the ice.

Each time inside there's an eclipse

I'll listen to what hides behind your lips.

Forever through any phase above,

You will always have my love

Speaking things we didn't say,

Let it catch the words that slipped away.

Pigeon Songs (Dying World)

Hope for a better world is what I believe,

While you are the dying world I cannot leave.

This is a burden I cannot carry any longer,

You made my heart heavy but hope made it stronger.

From a frozen heart to learning how to cry

Reignited by a last goodbye

The things that burn also give you fire,

Nightmares are dreams that pain inspire.

I love this river though its fish are dead,

And passenger pigeon songs though they're in my head.

A world we loved but couldn't save,

If we stay will be our grave.

So through the smog and toxic waste,

Unbalanced chems and old names debased,

I'll bid goodbye to this dying world,

Marching away with a new flag unfurled.

When even the ground was dead and rejected seed

It proved I'm alive by making me bleed.

Growing after fear is how we learn to cope,

And now I'm not afraid to believe in hope.

(Extended Version)
Carry a better world inside,
For others to see when they look in your eyes.
Grow a better world with past tears we cried,
Until we meet again on the outside.

Quora Question on Head and Heart

Props to whoever asked this question.

For those who do not already know about Quora it is a website where people can go and pose questions to the public and anyone can answer. It is kind of like Yahoo answers, but the site has a more scholarly and cerebral atmosphere in my opinion.

It is an awesome website that I try not to visit too often simply because I will most likely spend way too much time reading and writing drafts of answers. However, when this question popped up in my subscriptions my plans for the rest of the morning were happily laid to waste. Here is my answer to the question "Human Behavior: People say they are torn between their heart and brain. How do you distinguish your heart from your brain's voice?"
(Click here to read more answers, or here for the Quora page to this answer.)

"This is one way I've personally come to terms with that feeling of being torn between head and heart:
Your body is the orchestra (what you do), your brain is the conductor, and in your heart is the song.

The composer creates the musical piece based on an original internal 'vision', and the conductor must use her or his experiences to instruct the orchestral body towards action.

The members of the orchestra read the sheet music but also have to watch the conductor who keeps all the different facets of the band together. If the conductor strays too far from what is on the page, then the orchestra may fall out of order, but with balance sometimes the conductor may make a change which turns the piece into something even more beautiful or interesting than was written on the page.

Music involves both the technical aspect, playing the right notes, and making it musical with emotion. Some people find it easier play their  heart out when alone than for an audience, but a musician can expect to improve in both reading and playing with experience. 

Everyone is torn between different options sometimes, but personally I feel more when when I focus less on classifying options into "logical head choice" and "emotional heart choice", and more on simply playing a life song worth listening to."
