    "Both Sides, Now"
    Songwriter: MITCHELL, JONI

    Bows and flows of angel hair
    And ice cream castles in the air
    And feather canyons everywhere
    I've looked at clouds that way

    But now they only block the sun
    They rain and snow on everyone
    So many things I would have done
    But clouds got in my way

    I've looked at clouds from both sides now
    From up and down, and still somehow
    It's cloud illusions I recall
    I really don't know clouds at all

    Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
    The dizzy dancing way you feel
    As every fairy tale comes real
    I've looked at love that way

    But now it's just another show
    You leave 'em laughing when you go
    And if you care, don't let them know
    Don't give yourself away

    I've looked at love from both sides now
    From give and take, and still somehow
    It's love's illusions I recall
    I really don't know love at all

    Tears and fears and feeling proud
    To say "I love you" right out loud
    Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
    I've looked at life that way

    Oh but now old friends are acting strange
    They shake their heads, they say I've changed
    Well something's lost but something's gained
    In living every day

    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From WIN and LOSE and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all

    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From up and down and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all

    If I could describe my view on life, in just a song...it'd be this one.

    Maybe Baby - Buddy Holly

    Maybe baby, I'll have you
    Maybe baby, you'll be true
    Maybe baby, I'll have you for me
    It's funny honey, you don't care
    You never listen, to my prayer
    Maybe baby, you will love me some day
    Well you are the one that, makes me glad
    Any other one that, makes me sad
    When some day, you'll want me
    Well, I'll be there, wait and see ee ee
    Maybe baby, I'll have you
    Maybe baby, you'll be true
    Maybe baby, I'll have you for me**

    My Back Pages - Bob Dylan


    Crimson flames tied through my ears
    Rollin' high and mighty traps
    Pounced with fire on flaming roads
    Using ideas as my maps
    "We'll meet on edges soon" said I
    Proud 'neath heated brow
    Ahh, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that, now

    Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
    Ripped down all hate, I screamed
    Lies that life is black and white
    Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
    Romantic facts of musketeers
    Foundationed deep somehow
    Ahh, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now

    Girls' faces formed the forward path
    From phony jealousy
    To memorizing politics
    Of ancient history
    Flung down by corpse evangelists
    Unthought of, though somehow
    Ahh, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now

    A self-ordained professor's tongue
    Too serious to fool
    Spouted out that liberty
    Is just equality in school
    Equality, I spoke the word
    As if a wedding vow
    Ahh, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now

    In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
    At the mongrel dogs who teach
    Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
    In the instant that I preach
    My existence led by confusion boats
    Mutiny from stern to bow
    Ahh, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now

    Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
    Too noble to neglect
    Deceived me into thinking
    I had something to protect
    Good and bad, I define these terms
    Quite clear, no doubt somehow
    Ahh, but I was so much older then
    I'm younger than that now

    Love Bob Dylan Thanks
    While I'm still feeling a little blue -
    "Remember me to one who lives there
    She once was the true love of mine."

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D94eMsIR9go


    "Girl Of The North Country"

    If you're traveling the north country fair
    Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
    Remember me to one who lives there
    For she once was a true love of mine.

    If you go when the snowflakes storm
    When the rivers freeze and summer ends
    Please see if she has a coat so warm
    To keep her from the howlin' winds.

    Please see if her hair hangs long
    If it rolls and flows all down her breast
    Please see for me if her hair's hanging long
    For that's the way I remember her best.

    I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all
    Many times I've often prayed
    In the darkness of my night
    In the brightness of my day.

    So if you're travelin' the north country fair
    Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
    Remember me to one who lives there
    She once was the true love of mine.

    When will I find Love?
    Hopeless romantic ...

    .....
    I've looked at love from both sides now
    From give and take, and still somehow
    It's love's illusions I recall
    I really don't know love at all

    Tears and fears and feeling proud
    To say "I love you" right out loud
    Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
    I've looked at life that way

    Oh but now old friends are acting strange
    They shake their heads, they say I've changed
    Well something's lost but something's gained

    Joke on the poem thread.

    The Hopeless Romantic.

    He looked for love
    all his life
    and never found it.
    He was a hopeless romantic.

    Traverse True

    Closer to the truth.
    I walk for bronze.
    I walk for brown.

    It's all gift.

    Born in truth,
    and given merit.

    with gold ink on leather
    the truth didn't come from far away.
    It came from an alchemy of words that sound like home,
    like justice.

    close to the truth
    close to today
    close to fundament

    Close to truth

    I walk in trust.

    You are amazing,
    a real host,
    another Oprah.
    I like the way you mediate through the posters.
    I am so glad to have met you.
    Hugs - lotz

    Clouds blocked my ray of sunshine
    Rain and snow and tears
    So many things I would have done
    But blocks got in my way

    It means that I'm a heterosexual female, who seems to remember you saying something about spending a little time in a cave naked.

    Sensory deprived and hallucinating, most likely.
