Staying in love with life

To Spring

O thou with dewy locks, who lookest down
Through the clear windows of the morning, turn
Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,
Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!

The hills tell one another, and the listening
Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turn’d
Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth
And let thy holy feet visit our clime!

Come o’er the eastern hills, and let our winds
Kiss thy perfumèd garments; let us taste
Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls
Upon our lovesick land that mourns for thee.

O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour
Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put
Thy golden crown upon her languish’d head,
Whose modest tresses are bound up for thee.

---William Blake

Always

I am not jealous of what came before me.

Come with a man on your shoulders,
come with a hundred men in your hair,
come with a thousand men
between your breasts and your feet,
come like a river full of drowned men
which flows down to the wild sea,
to the eternal surf, to Time!

Bring them all to where I am waiting for you; we shall always be alone,
we shall always be you and I alone on earth, to start our life!

-Pablo Neruda

I'm so blown away...

Some questions

Will you cry when I cry?
..be there when I need a shoulder?
..be by my side when I lose a loved one?
..care if I feel insecure and jealous?
..share a wish upon a star?
..kiss me goodnight?
..hold my hand when I meet your folks?
..hold my hand when you meet mine?
..find me when I am hiding?
..say "You're beautiful" during my bad hair days?
..feel when I am hurt?
..carry me when I am weak?
..listen if I whisper?
..stay if I tell you to go?
..dream of me?
Are you forever?

Why is the Blue Mountains blue?

Here is my version:

On the day that God created the earth, He also created the vast ocean and the mountains. He created them so that every living creature would be perfect in its place. He created the fishes and painted them with all the different colors of the rainbow. He created the birds so that every ray of light that reflects them would stare in awe of their beauty. He took so much time to define every detail of every creature. Everything was so delicate and seems so perfect. But then, God became so tired, He fell asleep for some minutes. He got tired and took a quick nap.

Because of his tiredness, he forgot to color the vast ocean and the mountains. Every fish and every bird had been colored beautifully, but their home, the ocean and mountains had no color. The ocean and the mountains were all black. When God woke up from His slumber, He accidentally bumped the pail of color blue. So everything in its way that were pitch black became blue. Henceforth, the ocean and the mountains were blue. And so the blue mountains!
