Music Mondays - Nobody Supposed to be Here?
Deborah Cox's "Nobody Supposed to be Here?"
How did you get here?
Nobody's supposed to be here
I've tried that love thing for the last time
My heart says no, no!
Nobody's supposed to be here
But you came along and changed my mind
I've spent all my life, on a search to find
The love who'll stay for eternity
The heaven sent to fulfill my needs
But when I turn around
Again, love has knocked me down
My heart got broken, oh it hurt so bad
I'm sad to say, love wins again
So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time, and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here
[Chorus]
This time I swear I'm through
But if only you knew
How many times I've said those words
Then fall again, when will I ever learn
Knowing these tears I cry
This lovely black butterfly
Must take a chance, and spread my wings
Love can make you do some crazy things
So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time, and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here

Day 157 (Happy Birthday Malika)
Today's photo inspiration is #cement
I know this is just that..cement..a tombstone and nothing more. I always knew she wasn't there but it doesn't lessen my grief sometimes.
Today would be her 39th birthday and she remains where she has always been...in my heart.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there.
I do not die.
- Mary Elizabeth Frye

"The Awakening" by J. Seward Johnson, Jr. is an absolute masterpiece sculpture.
Music Mondays - Such Great Heights
Iron and Wine's "Such Great Heights"
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
And that frankly will not fly. You will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...
