Out Of The Box

Artist: Songmistress

Genie – by Marillion

I let the genie out of the box
I let the genie out of the box
I’m scared of everything I am
I let the genie out of the box
I’m scared of opening the can
I let the genie out of the box
I had this recurring dream
I was living another life
In another country
In another time
As I got older the dream began to fade away
Until one day
There she was… tapping me on my shoulder
She says she’s got so much to say
But she’s not telling it today
She said “Come back when you’re alone”
But I’m not sure I want to know
Cause maybe her road
Is a one-way street
Maybe her road…
I’m scared of everything I am
I’m scared of opening the can
I’m scared of losing who I am
Think I might’ve taken all I can
I let the genie out of the box
She said there’s a house in your mind
An attic of treasure, a forgotten pleasure park
Waiting inside you in the dark
Don’t leave it behind
Don’t leave it behind
I’m scared of everything I am
I’m scared of opening the can
I’m scared of losin’ who I am
Think I might’ve taken all I can
I let the genie out of the box
I let the genie out of the box
Out of the box

For the love of Marillion. For the love of this song…and, besides, it is an utterly autobiographical work of art:
I really am scared of everything I am…
scared of opening the can,
scared (terribly scared) of losin’ who I am
I’m sure I’ve taken all I can…
I let the genie out of the box
I let the genie out of the box
Out of the box…

Speechless

Artist: Vasile Stan Speechless
when words mean NOTHING
when nothing is FOREVER
when forever is one SIGN,
that one sign is LOVE.
when love is the WORD,
the word is: SPEECHLESS
Silently you Are.
In love.

Inspired by "On your shore",Enya

Your Are So Beautiful

Artist: jewelskings

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can’t you see?
You’re everything I hoped for
You’re everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
Such joy and happiness
You bring
Such joy and happiness
You bring
Like a dream
A guiding light
That shines in the night
Heaven’s gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

Music: "You are so beautiful" by Joe Cocker.

Fragility

Artist: Dawne Olson 
 While out on the lake last Saturday I noticed several leaves floating in the water from the surrounding Cottonwood trees. The ones that were the most emotionally compelling for me were these simple skeletal remains. So much beauty in such frailty. A symbol of life.
