I don't know what it is about you that closes and opens;

only something in me understands

the voice of your eyes is deeper than all the roses.

Frank and the Wee Hours

Frank © 2011 Kelli Seeger Kim

We knew that Frank sometimes would play with the boys' train when no one was around. Heck, I'd even caught him once before - and it was strange, no doubt. But finding him at 2AM....well. That was downright unsettling.(Words by © Kelli Seeger Kim)

 

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

~excerpt from e.e. cummings “This Amazing Day”

Happy Birthday Gary!

Love,

Noelle

Across the Universe

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my opened ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying Love which shines around me like a
million suns, and calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
