LUNATIC'S LAMENT (HAPPY HALLOWEEN)

I'm here lying on my bed

Just trying to hold on to my head

But if you came in through the door

You'll find me crawling on the floor

Just looking for the things you threw away.

You're the one illusion

Causing my confusion

My dreams are yours to borrow

I know I'll get them back tomorrow

And I know your love has turned to wine

(Such a shame)

Times are full of Pumpkin People

They appear and they fade away

I'm just moonlight's lost disciple

Trying to bring your love my way

I presume your reason's rocking

Do not rise above your pocket

Will you be handsome, will you be rich

Or you're going to wind up in the ditch

Just looking for the things you threw away.

The Anchoress

  In this mortal life, God’s mercy and forgiveness are the road on which we are always led to His grace : and although human, earthly judgement often considers that our souls are killed by the storms and the sorrows which we encounter as our lot, in God’s sight the soul that shall be saved was never dead and shall never die.   

   

  But still this amazed me and I pondered over it with all the diligence my soul could command : and I said :  Good Lord, I see You, Who are very truth, and I know truly that we sin grievously  every day and that we deserve great blame.  But on the one hand I cannot deny Your truth, yet on the other I cannot see You blaming us in any way.  How can this be possible? 

Julian of Norwich, Revelations Chapter 50 (ca. 1393).

NOTHING SHAKING

She’s got a way that makes me act like a Fool;
Spends all my money, then she treats me Cruel;
I’m begging for her kisses on my bended Knee;
There’s nothing shaking but the leaves on the Trees.


Some days the wind will blow, the sun will Shine.
Until that Day
She puts my Heart at Ease.
There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the Trees.


My Daddy Told Me There’d Be Times Like These
There’s Nothing Shaking But the Leaves On the
Trees.


My Daddy Told Me There’d Be Times Like These
There’s Nothing Shaking But the Leaves On the
Trees!!
