Skyglow and faith

There are some nights when for whatever reason we can't see the stars from where we are, but that doesn't make us doubt whether or...

I think I am going to start playing guitar again

When there was no shame in asking why

When we looked for pictures in the sky

And when the rain fell down (falls down) as the storm raged on

But when the storm rages on

(Wear your weather on the inside)

But when our time runs out

What is left of us but dust

Unless the wind picks up our memory

Oh please remember me.

So if you find yourself all alone and you've forgotten who you are

Please don't worry just listen to the wind and remember the feeling.


Oh please remember me in the jointed breeze its composed melodies past the decomposition of (our) humanity


So listen to the breeze sing it's melodies feel the harmonies

And over here I'll still be on my knees praying that you remember (remember me) when you find and climb your tree.


I do pray that you climb a tree

Find where the wind recollects

(Over mountains that we climb)

And whisper stories back of you and I

To be remembered in the breeze



---

When the sun fades out

And the sky runs dry

But the wind still sighs every time that it passes by


When the lights fade down

And your eyes've run dry

You'll remember the feeling and wish you never passed it by


When the lights they burn

But but birds never learn

How to sing (love) and never cry

Not wait for warmer winds to sigh


If twilight falls

But you can't recall

Just get the feeling from old-aged air

that's all that you need there


(when there's no more time to cry

it's still time for it to die

We've still all but forgotten how to leave and let it lie/what it means to let it lie)


When the truth still burns

You can't leave it lie,

Oh You have all but forgotten

But it's still time to let it/for it to die/

But it is still time to die



(But it's still time (for it) to die

Yet it's all but forgotten you can't

Leave and let it die)


Let the next sunrise(Sky)

Kiss those tears so they dry

The wind still only knows one way on/The air may be still you (still) might sigh 

Because/But still all we have is time.

Another Calmdown (this time starting with 'Truce' // tøp)

 (This time, the song is Truce by Twentyone Pilots. As it has been before.)

I think of those I love most and who love me. In spite of the suffering, I have been given this much free.

     Also all the beauty of nature, the opportunity to create and express and understand. To give. And be.

      The world is bad and it gives bad things to being, but being itself is not bad. 

      The world is bad, but there are many good gifts anyway.

      The best things in life really are free.

I miss you when it snows

 

Everything I like is tied to you

All the mem'ries that we knew

Wish you would just listen to how true

This is 


Did you know I'd


(Oh I) miss you when it snows

And whenever the wind blows

At the place that the waves go

All of the highs and all the lows


The sky it is too white

I write songs late at night

About the day and it's fights

Telling you things

I should have said


I miss you when it snows

And with every passing note

All of the highs and all the lows

If only you would know


I don't just miss you when it snows

With every foggy breath I know

Every night that I must fight

So that someday you might know

Can't paint my way out

Can I call you back with music?
Can I paint you back to life?
I'd learn piano, sail the world solo,
To see that you are fine.

I can't call you back with music.
Can't paint you back to life.
This time there's nothing I can do, except
Waiting for His light;
For the thief in the night.

“Thunder and Lightning” (雷声和闪电,Mandarin Chorus)

雷声和闪电

当它们在旁边 

它提醒上帝的力量

救恩天上帝

听到我的祷告请

帮我耐心和维护你的名

jiù ēn tiān shàngdì

tīng dào wǒ de dǎogào qǐng

bāng wǒ nàixīn hé wéihù nǐ de míng

Concave

...And with time new experiences become the past
Solidify in time as you hold steadfast
Proving not just once, but time and time again
And then like waves carry you through the end.

No matter what's behind once you catch that wave
And carry through that tube when it's gone concave,
In your mind you'll know what is true
But you'll feel it know it's real
      And that your heart is too
      (Your heart is true)

And some days you're going to flip
Under confident or maybe even full of it
I know you're so afraid to fall
But with You-Know-Who by your side you
Don't need to fear at all

So don't be afraid of what you don't yet know
Feel it out
Take a breath
(Take a breath)
Take it slow.
This time
Will never come again
For when from now on you'll have a forever friend
Reading you past your face and knowing your heart
Just do the best, he'll do the rest (together you'll go far)
Let him be the one
Who takes you far

Pose

You'll be here a while so please do mind your pose
While a thousand paper cuts will keep you on our toes
Please don't mind it's just a silhouette strung up for all to see

We're in the media social sites and on TV
All these boxes leave me Feeling quite 2D

Join hands with me
We're in the media strung up for all to see
Please don't mind it's just a silhouette strung up for all to see
All these boxes leave me Feeling quite 2D

(Bridge) Please know they mean well as do you and I
If only we were perfect strangers seeing this eye to eye
So let's join hands as we're strung up

We'll be here a while so feel free to strike a pose

Little Miss

Miscarried, words misleading me,
Miss Daring how dare you believe (in me)?

The little girl I never met
Pretend memories I won't forget
The lost child inside,
Washed away by all the tears once cried.
The one that sailed to the moon
Phased far through it all too soon,
Miss won't you come out and play?
Cause it is a beautiful day today.

When they said if she jumped they swore she would die
She wandered the stars and in her dreams she would fly,
Severed the sea and away her soul flew,
Took her smile with her and mine for safekeeping too.

Miscarried, words misleading me,
Miss Daring how dare you believe in me?

The little girl I never met,
Pretend memories I won't forget
The lost child inside,
Washed away by invisible tears once cried.
The one that sailed to the moon
Phased far through it all too soon,
Miss won't you come out and play?
Cause it is a beautiful day today.

The imaginary friends made a circle one day
And said "we are the fine, the toll she must pay"
In all her loneliness we'll be the only friends,
Until the day the child comes back again.

So dear friends lets play pretend
Cause when I'm with you I feel like a child again
We can go the moon, let's not come back too soon,
This beautiful day is all because of you.

Oh right here it's all anew,
Nothing like the world I knew
The child inside starts just a little shy,
But believe she won't let this pass her by.

Miscarried, words misleading me,
Miss Daring how dare you believe in me?

Miscarried, words misleading me,
(Child inside starts just a little shy)
Miss Daring how dare you believe?
(Believe I won't let this pass me by)

Miss Daring please believe

The little girl I never met,
Pretend memories I won't forget
The lost child inside,
Washed away by invisible tears once cried.
The one that sailed to the moon
Phased far through it all too soon,

Miss won't you come out and play?
Cause it is a beautiful day today.

Choose (song)

Devil's on Earth but I don't care
Death at the door but I'm not scared
Free to roam with naught but my life to lose
Now I go on without you

I won't go down without a fight
My schedule is kind of tight
So no time to mope there's lots I've got to do
This is the life I choose
This is the life I choose
Now I go on without you

Time will heal the cuts and burns
So few years but lots to learn
Scars will fade and so will regret
(Let go but never forget)
Oh hope ain't gone yet
Though I'll go on without you
Still be whole without you
This is the life I choose

Come this song on the breeze
Death at the door we're on our knees
I'll move on but life won't pass us by

You wonder if you made the right choice
This is the life you chose
Someday darling you may die
But don't let this life pass you by
Don't have to drown each time you cry
Please remember you've got so much to do
And nothing but this life to lose

Young and got one foot in the grave
We're all dying with not much to lose

Because hope has found you
Got nothing left to lose
But the life we choose

Parting Lullaby

The melody is very simple, Bb major, 4/4 time, about 100 bpm. All words are held for a quarter note except the last word of every second line is held for four. Each note is one syllable of the word. The lower octave is represented by a - and the higher a +

Go to sleep now, please don't cry here
-B E F E +B -G F G
even though we part.
B E F E C
Oh, Do not weep dear I will be near
ever in your heart.

Listen to the songs of starlight
sounding crystal Clear.
Lonely shadows, dreary hallows,
never shall you fear.

Go to sleep now, please don't cry here
even though we part.
Oh, Do not weep dear I will be near

ever in your heart.

(very old poem reposted to this site Dec 6, 2017)
