Blue and Lines of Life

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I've been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything

When you've got no one to tell them to..."

Voodoo tree/Cactus tree busy being free...

"...He will find it hard to shake her
From his memory
And she's so busy being free

...Her heart is full and hollow
Like a cactus tree
While she's so busy being free
Like a cactus tree..." - Joni Mitchell

'The Moon's a Harsh Mistress'

See her as she flies

Golden sails across the sky

Close enough to touch

But careful if you try

Though she looks as warm as gold

in black & white

 The old and the ancient, lonely

 Of blank faces, elegy-ridden

 Of losses and roses, casketed

 The past is just a stony romance...

For joie de vivre is today, together...

In harmony, secure

A squirrel curiously inspects the rustle of leaves outside from its cosy little den...a little frightened but secure.
