HEART MAN, Luka Bloom
Home and Memory
Home and Memory
Winter has
come,
a flame in
the fire
and all
somehow warm
but i
entered the door
feeling a
pain, and as
all pain
arises from loss,
i longed to
be welcomed,
from somebody, i know who,
from somebody, i know who,
to just
smile, at least
with a dog’s
trusting joy,
maybe her
not wagging
her tail
but a kind bark
or a wet
embrace,
peace in
the house,
soup and space
as if it could
never
have been otherwise.
I have
longed for this
kiss for so
long,
though i
dread traps
and home is
only inside
i have
wished to share.
now as i am
old
i see no
future
i am alive.
I breathe.
the harvest moon
has turned ice.
i am alive.
I breathe.
the harvest moon
has turned ice.
the past i left,
from the town
where i
grew up i fled in disgust
and memories
only come
out of the
forgotten
with a
trigger, short films,
and i let
them go,
all what i shovelled
under the
snow, let it
be silent,
it is winter.
Let memories
freeze
and keep
quiet.
outside the
wind,
inside the
house,
and deeper
the home
in being me
i can be nobody else
and what i
feel i
cannot cut
nor forget,
i let it
sleep.
i forgive
my desire,
it will not
die
until i
will.
i forgive
my memories.
they are
like the
last brown
leaves
tumbling on
the white
and frosty
soil.
christy moore , before the deluge
Before the Deluge
Author: Jackson Browne
Some of them were dreamers, some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent, they were gathering the tools
That they would need to make their journey back to nature.
When the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
And their hearts turned to each others hearts for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent, they were gathering the tools
That they would need to make their journey back to nature.
When the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
And their hearts turned to each others hearts for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge
Some of them knew pleasure, some of them knew pain
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
On the wild and crazy wings of youth they went flying around in the rain,
Until their feathers once so fine were torn and tattered
In the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings
They traded love’s bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge
In a moment they were swept before the deluge
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
On the wild and crazy wings of youth they went flying around in the rain,
Until their feathers once so fine were torn and tattered
In the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings
They traded love’s bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge
In a moment they were swept before the deluge
So let the music keep your spirits high
Let the buildings keep your children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky
Let the buildings keep your children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky
Some of them were angry at the way that the earth was
abused
By those men who learned to forge beauty into power
And in trying to protect us from them only became confused
By the magnitude of the fury in the final hour
When the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
In attempts to understand this thing so simple and so huge
Believed they were meant to live after the deluge
abused
By those men who learned to forge beauty into power
And in trying to protect us from them only became confused
By the magnitude of the fury in the final hour
When the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
In attempts to understand this thing so simple and so huge
Believed they were meant to live after the deluge
So let the music keep your spirits high
Let the buildings keep your children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky
Let the buildings keep your children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky

i don't really mind who sings nor the words.
it fills my night with peace and beauty.
but as i read the text of this song, it is always possible to wash,
to find purity and , and i mean and, to sacrifice one's virginity for love and life -
this is what wisdom and silence tell me.
listening tells me that all separation is artificial, inside and outside,
and, and again i mean and, that we have to accept living in a state of separation
and in a state of non-separation at the very same time.
time is a pattern how we experience day for day but we can walk out of it-
as if walking on music.
so, i am going. gone.
