come now away

once in the darkness
where i was thinking
i saw a light
oh deep in my soul
i did not question
where it had came from
i simply sat
in its embrace

once in my heart i saw the blinking
something worth saving
here evermore
i did not ask what was waiting
i simply helped it
and so should you do

once in the sunshine
i smelt a smoking
i did not think, oh where it could be
i simply ran, oh far away
where we all met up, to go flee

darling don't question my intuition
just come with me, where we will be safe
just come along now, know i will lead you
where nothing can hurt us
here evermore

  • winter coming

    winter's coming on fast — 
    better chop enough wood. 

    pluck the last fruits of the harvest — 
    then say goodnight to the garden, 
    resting under a blanket of leaves and love. 

  • Goodbye Whisper

    In the vet's office.
    My bunny, sedated.
    They are coming soon with the second shot.

    She had a good life. I hope she finds peace.
    I'm going to miss her so much.
    I love you, Whisper. I'm sorry.

  • in the "olden times"

    Do you think people 100 years ago, in rural Vermont, looked up at the sky, at the milky way, the moon and all the stars? Do you think they marveled at them, and taught their children the constellations?
