you let me be
the things i’d long forgot
held me close untied the knots
without a scheme without a plot
you gave me back
who i was before
the things i’d long forgot
held me close untied the knots
without a scheme without a plot
you gave me back
who i was before
but didn’t know no more
the one who’d shut that door
you got me back on track
of who i used to be
who i was to me
the gypsy wild banshee
you wanted me
the one who’d shut that door
you got me back on track
of who i used to be
who i was to me
the gypsy wild banshee
you wanted me

Words and image fit perfectly together!!
the words and the piece of the painting go so well together, as you have already read in the above comment, whom i always seem to follow.. :)
nolde's art is very special and so i feel somewhat tortured to see it this way but then again, art is art, no? as always, sweet gypsy, very wonderful to read...a happy dance. xoxo
Beautiful - some people indeed bring out the best in us.;)
Happy Valentine's day dear friend,
xoxoxo
Happy V from me to thee.
I know what you mean man.
SEMINARY HILL
There was a hill top
where I used to see,
all of my life's possibilities in front of me.
Four decades later,
I returned to see
that none of it, would ever be.
The Delaware River meanders gracefully down to the sea by journeying through the magnificently forested hills of The Catskills Mountains first. A lonesome train track follows it's meanderings, also heading south to the sea. I was 14 years old when I first climbed Seminary Hill and saw this splendid sight.
There was a 30-foot statue of Jesus Christ on a cross high up on Seminary Hill. The image was ghostly against blackening skies, even more so during lightning storms. The Castle-like Seminary was spread out over the level acreage at the bottom of The Hill. Below the Seminary, lies the Town Of Callicoon and The Delaware River.
I went way out of my way on a sunny day, about 6 or 7 years ago, to return to Seminary Hill, but I never anticipated the subsequent flood of emotions that resulted from looking down that river valley... and all of those years... again.
Quite accidentally, not long after my return to Seminary Hill, a former seminarian from my class was put in touch with me, and even though we were once very close friends, I couldn't place him when we met again. He had none of the looks, characteristics, or mannerisms of the person that I once knew. He was kind enough to bring me up to date regarding fellow mates and such, but as he talked, I looked into his unfamiliar eyes and felt like I was back up on Seminary Hill, again... searching for the guy that I once knew.
Yes, we are fortunate when someone comes along to once again make us feel alive. They infuse that essence we know of ourselves with fresh, new life.
Love is grand that way!
Hope your Valentine's day was filled with love, Gypsy.
lovely as always reading you~

and kissed me like he care

lovelylinda, so wonderful to have you over, as always - and i've noticed how you seem to follow the macgregors, too! interesting! ;)

hope all is well with you and yours out there in beautiful californiacountry! ;)
