Daniel
By Elton John
Sings, to me
Of my uncle
Beloved, and
Legendary,
Notorious,
In my little
World. Pushing
The envelope
Making colorful
Decisions
As a flamboyantly
Guy man in a
Traditional
Catholic, old-
School family.
Spent his final
Days in a hospice
For AIDS patients
In Canada. Lived
And died with
Regret and beauty
Moon silvered Clouds
This piece evokes a timeless beauty, it has an ethereal air about it and I sleep to it a lot.
I can see the mists rising off the mountains,
Sprinkling of rain
The morning sun kissing the flowers awake
The doe and her new fawn in the meadow.
The dawn and hope of a new day and all
The possibilities that brings!
This is my favorite song.
Universal Language
I love music. It's so powerful and moving, and no matter what language you speak or your background, you're going to love music and be just as moved by it as I am.
I have a lot of favorite songs. When we go on long trips, I'll pull out my mp3, and listen to some differant Piano Guys songs, some Audiomachine, or Two Steps music. Or sometimes I'll listen to some classical or slower, sadder pieces. I also really like Taylor Davis, who plays the violin so amazingly. I actually play the violin too, but not nearly as good as her...
I think if I had to narrow it down, I really like "Nero" by Two Steps, "Fairy Tale Theme" and "Morning Star" by Taylor Davis, and "Above and Beyond" by Audiomachine. But there's a lot more that I like!
Life was So Amazing Then
My favorite song is
"Kids Two" from Stranger Things
When I close my eyes and think of this song,
The first thing I see are illuminating lights, sparkling one by one like a disco ball
I see my love & I dancing on a magenta dance floor
I see my younger self from elementary school
Riding my bike as Mike, Dustin, and Lucas do
I can make up my own lyrics in my mind...
Remembering how free it felt to be a kid
Have enough time to go outside and play with my friends
Ride our bikes through the woods
Not having to stress about exams that determine our future
Life was so amazing then
This song also reminds me of the two children I anticipate for
With my love... their beautiful names already chosen
Still awaiting for their perfect faces to match their perfect names
I hope they receive that same freedom I did as a young girl
Be able to go outside and play like I did
Instead of today's children who are constantly on their technological devices
The most stress-free time of my life was
Having picnics in the treetops and collecting earthworms after the rain
Life was so amazing then
Catch
It calls to my soul
My lost wandering spirit.
The angst and uncertainty
There's nothing much to it.
The sound of the voice
that lingers in my brain,
The words that help to remove all my pain.
A comfort to know that I'm not all alone,
There may be others out there
I won't be on my own.
The indeterminate anonymity
of the protagonist and her plight -it soothes me, lulling me to sleep in the night.
