I passed this stump every day while walking Ruby. It called to me softly as I passed. What had knocked it down I did not know. Valiantly it fought for life, sprouting green new leaves. Sadly as time went on it has failed and died. All the green is gone and it is dead, people put their rubbish in it.
so it was gone the tree died where it had stood back to mother earth sun and rain witnessed new shoots and so the earth keeps turning.
My life is like an empty page Karma can fill it with joy or rage Writing the stories it may like Then sticks my page upon a spike. Or fills my page with rainbow colour Paint me there sister, wife or mother. The finger of fate writes on my page It can make me a fool or a sage.

TREES
I love nature and I have always loved trees. I often find myself drawn to them and can spend hours in their company.
Trees know so much, they see so much. We use them to build, for warmth, for furniture. We give little back. We, humans as a race are users. Vast forests and jungles are cleared in the name of progress.
Hopefully with the splinters and ashes and discarded furniture the trees go back into mother Earth so new ones may grow.
Trees and vegetation were here before us, they will be here when we are gone.
This world has truly had enough There’s no coming back from the edge. We’re gone too far out on the ledge. The rich just take and hoard their stuff The rest of us just take the rough. Where is the kindness, where’s the care Rich live off the poor, that’s not fair. Earth is tired of us parasites Rich or poor to her we’re just mites. Injustice just too much to bear.
When we are young we rush and race. No time to watch the flowers grow Or count raindrops as down they flow. Everything was done at fast pace We had style and we had such grace. Then as we age we slow right down . Our efforts to catch time a frown You’d think that over time we’d learn But no we simply crash and burn We try to fly but slowly drown.
Its Sunday and time for Jim Adams to give us a prompt for Song Lyric Sunday this week November 14, 2021 it’s Birth, Death, Life.
Well if you’ve read my blog for any length of time you may of noticed I really love and respect Imogen Heap as a singer, songwriter and musician.
Imogen’s partner is Michael Lebor, a British film maker. In 2014 they had a baby girl Florance, Scout, Rosie, Heap-Lebor..Imogen wrote a fantastic song about Scouts birth and how hard she found being a new mother. She said that she and Micheal thought the were ready and prepared for parenthood, they were not.
What I love about this song and her admittion that for all her money, fame and well of help she found it hard and that made being able to love her new baby hard. I knew this feeling and could remember being scared and alone and not able cope with this Tiny Human that was solely dependant on me! Like most of us Immie got there and Scout must be seven years old now….
“Tiny Human”
Oh my tiny human At 05:08 you break me apart again The space-time continuum Buckles and bends around your every twist and turn
I can barely remember life before You came crashing in on one day Crazy beautiful you Blind me like the dawn After ashes fell on Pompeii Crazy beautiful you
A miracle, a mystery And one short stop away From joy to misery When the night becomes day I give you my every last ounce You make a pin-cushion out of me And you can thank me later, babe (if I’m alive) How long can one live without sleep?
Still I can’t stand to imagine Life without… You came crashing in on one day Crazy beautiful you Blind me like the dawn After ashes fell on Pompeii Crazy bright beautiful you
Suddenly propelled So many light years from bliss And completely unprepared How can anyone deserve this? I’ve tried, I’ve tried all the tricks in the book, I’m at my wits end Now look here what do you want from me!?
I can barely remember life before… You came crashing in on one day Crazy beautiful you From the ashes of Pompeii To fireworks and champagne Crazy beautiful you
You little devil, you Oh I love you so much It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done But you’re so worth it Yes you are Yes you are You little devil, you.
“Daniel” is a song by English recording artist Bat for Lashes, from her second studio album, Two Suns. It is her best-selling single to date, selling over 46,000 copies worldwide. The song was announced as the lead single from Two Suns in January 2009, then released as a digital download single on 1 March 2009, and as a 7″ vinyl single on 6 April 2009. The track was written by Natasha Khan and produced by David Kosten, as with all tracks on the album. Ira Wolf Tuton from Yeasayer provided the bass lines for the song and Khan did the rest of the instrumentation herself.
To me this song is a out the death of a young man or the death of a relationship….either way it reaks of death to me.
Lyrics
Daniel when I first saw you I knew that you had a flame in your heart And under our blue skies Marble movie skies I found a home in your eyes We’ll never be apart
And when the fires came The smell of cinders and rain Perfumed almost everything We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden blue Crying took me to the darkest place And you have set fire to my heart
When I run in the dark, Daniel To a place that’s vast, Daniel Under a sheet of rain in my heart Daniel, I dream of home
But in a goodbye bed With my arms around your neck Into our love the tears crept Just catch in the eye of the storm
And as my heart ran round My dreams pulled me from the ground Forever to search for the flame For home again, for home again
When I run in the dark, Daniel To a place that’s vast, Daniel Under a sheet of rain in my heart Daniel, I dream of home
When I run in the dark, Daniel To a place that’s vast, Daniel Under a sheet of rain in my heart Daniel, I dream of home
In 1975 I had two of our boys , one nearly two the other new born, we lived on a new housing estate having only recently arrived there so I knew no one, I didn’t drive, as with our previous house I was miles from anywhere. Hubby was away for days on end and when he was working in London he was off early and home very late from work. I was lonely but I had music and 10cc where a big favourite of mine!
“Life Is a Minestrone” is a 1975 song by 10cc released as a lead single from their third album, The Original Soundtrack.
The track was written after Lol Creme and Eric Stewart were driving home from Strawberry Studios and a BBC Radio presenter said something that they only partly heard, but which Creme interpreted as “life is a minestrone”. Stewart and Creme believed the phrase to be a good title for a song on the grounds that life is, according to Stewart in a BBC Radio Wales interview, “a mixture of everything we pile in there”. They had the song written in a day.
So, there we have it Birth, Death,Life.
Oh! Incase you think I cheated with Death represented by Daniel here is Death on Two Legs, on of my favourite Queen tracks. Let’s let Queen explain
