who whatever the weather knew no fear
…when in need of relief
…was quite the thief
unwrapping and perspiring ‘e licks ‘ere

the world
and reminding
me (and you)
that

a

smile

costs

nothing

hopeless time to roam
the distance to your home
fades away to nowhere

lyrics from new born, muse

like a (solitary) tree
on a distant
hilltop

like a (solitary) tree
with branches reaching
high

like a (solitary) tree
with roots dug
down
deep

like a (solitary) tree
i keep
my

distance

there’s no change, there’s no pace
everything within its place just makes it harder to believe
– lyrics to flame trees, sarah blasko

their (winding) road (out of the dark)
so long and

lonely

their (treacherous) path (back to the light)
not the

only

way

limbs
on the point of

breaking

hearts

aching

(lost) souls going with the

flow

so very,

slow

and still,
they

know

however,

slow

the sun will

shine
(again)
