to take to your time for something good..."

A Storm is coming…

A pebble. A few seashells and the down feathers of a seagull or maybe a snow goose.

All brewed at dawn with a tear drowned in a flask of salty water.
That is a strange potion with no predictable effects.

Bromford, the friendly town by the bay and seaside has a coastline, too.
With rocks and cliffs and steep coasts.
But at this time of year it is cloudy and rainy.
And there's a storm coming.

Almost missed this Monday because
I didn't label Saturday as Saturday.
Be prepared…

Clothed…

*

And the woman clothed in sun…

In a pile of slightly smelly clothes I find a pair of socks. Two are a pair, aren't they? Who said they should be matching anyway? Ready for the daily life, for the daily routine. Dressed but not well dressed. Clothed is not dressed. Clothed, that's all that counts…

Rather Be…

What would you rather be?

Rich and ill or healthy and poor?

A sparrow or a snail?

A hammer or a nail?

A forest or a street?

This Blockblog is like one of those classic radio stations

- Let's call it RADIO TRANQUILITY -

that own only three Best-of-Compilations from

- Let's say –

U2, QUEEN and MICHAEL JACKSON

and plays them - in very heavy rotation - back and forth

all day long.

My blockblog's Best-of-Compilation and heavy rotation

seems to be Paul Simon rather with or without Art Garfunkel.

And they were already old when I was young…

El cóndor pasa (If I Could)

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail

Yes, I would

If I could

I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world its saddest sound

Its saddest sound

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail

Yes, I would

If I only could

I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world its saddest sound

Its saddest sound

I'd rather be a forest than a street

Yes, I would

If I could

I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world its saddest sound

Its saddest sound

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet

Yes, I would

If I only could

I surely would

Some people feel the rain.

Others just get wet...

Tongue tied…

Always hated them ties.
No knots.
Not knots.
Do knots.
Do nots.
Donuts.
Doughnuts?
Donoughts?
Always feel tied when forced to wear ties.
And feeling tied makes me feel tired.
Tongue-tied sometimes.

The fall that breaks your bed,

turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.

You sigh, you shake your head,

we did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.

But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.

If we can make it through tonight girl,

I know I won't be alone again.

If we can make it through this night girl,

I know I won't be alone again.

But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.

If I don't let you go tonight girl,

I know I won't be alone again.

My lips are dry your grip is tight girl,

but I know I won't sing this song again.

But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.

I know these wrongs don't make it right girl,

but I know I will look on and admire.

So I will watch you here tonight girl,

brighter and more like the embers of our fire.

But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.

So lately I've been working on this song of mine.

You sigh, you shake your hair,

but showers of sunlight turn hours of hindsight instead.

The fall that breaks your bed,

we did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.

But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied
