Poetry
"Put your soul into words
Paint daydreams out of your imagination
Sing the songs of your heart
And let your thoughts dance out
Into the world
To leave mysteries in others' minds"
~ Elspeth Blunt

Click on a title to see that poem.
All that lives of legendry,
Beauty, magic, mystery,
Gentleness and purity,
Dwells in me.
I no mate, no kin, have known;
None may claim me as his own;
One is one, and all alone,
It must be
Through their weariness and woe
Men have sometimes seen me go,
Felt a wind from Eden blow
Suddenly;
Though they hunt with spear and horn,
Knowing life cannot be borne
If they have no unicorn --
I am free.
Though they kill, and weep to see
Beauty's symbol ended be --
One is one and lives in me
To eternity.
~ Nicholas Stuart Gray (whoever that is)
The Bumblebee Quote
According to the laws of Aerodynamics, the bumblebee
cannot fly. I guess no one bothered to tell the bee.
Be smarter than others, just don’t tell them so
Who says the night is evil
Who seeks friendship from the sun
Who will always triumph
When the day of death is done
Who understands their suffering
Who seeks their hopeless eyes
Who can feel their endless pain
Who sees through blinding lies
Who will stand up with me
When the world is kneeling down
Who will show the people
That they cannot make us drown
The night will be our ally
The sun our garish foe
The people are our mission
We have to let them know
The silver moon our guidance
Our rhythm the heartbeat
Of the hundred thousand others
Who won’t accept defeat
~ By Me
