you do not know

what wars

are going on

down there

where the spirit meets the bone.

how many roads must a man walk down
before you call him a man
yes and how many seas must a white dove sail
before she sleeps in the sand
yes and how many times must the cannon balls fly
before theyre forever banned
the answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
the answer is blowin’ in the wind

how many times must a man look up
before he can see the sky
yes and how many ears must one man have
before he can hear people cry
yes and how many deaths will it take till he knows
that too many people have died
the answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
the answer is blowin’ in the wind

how many years can a mountain exist
before its washed to the sea
yes and how many years can some people exist
before theyre allowed to be free
yes and how many times can a man turn his head
pretending he just doesnt see
the answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
the answer is blowin’ in the wind.

in the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty
i want to be in the warm hold of your loving mind

to feel you all around me
and to take your hand along the sand
ah but i may as well try and catch the wind

when sundown pales the sky
i wanna hide a while behind your smile
and everywhere id look your eyes id find

for me to love you now
would be the sweetest thing ‘twould make me sing
ah but I may as well try and catch the wind

when rain has hung the leaves with tears
i want you near to kill my fears
to help me to leave all my blues behind

for standin’ in your heart
is where i want to be and i long to be
ah but i may as well try and catch the wind . . .

i listen to the wind
to the wind of my soul
where ill end up
well i think
only god really knows
ive sat upon the setting sun
but never never never never
i never wanted water once
no never never never

i listen to my words
but they fall far below
i let my music take me
where my heart wants to go
i swam upon the devils lake
but never never never never
ill never make the same mistake
no never never never

moment.

and

today

the thaw . . .

this evening

the snow started to FAll -

the perfect background

for falling   a p  a   r   t   ~

we have not come into this exquisite world
to hold ourselves hostage from love

run my dear ones
from anything
that may not strengthen
your precious budding wings

run like hell
from anyone likely
to put a sharp knife
into the sacred tender vision
of your beautiful hearts
