I am living in denial An island in a sea of fear Immune from pain Where no one can hear the voices always in my head Sometimes wishing for a different feeling and one not of dread
Too frightened to face what I perceive as inevitable What we once had is now possibly irrevocable How I wish to go back to the state of happiness When you loved me and wrapped me in tenderness
For now I will remain Neither here nor there Persistent in this haven Out of the cruel glare Praying for an outcome That I can withstand To return to you or forever be in the hinterland
This week Helen Vahdati's Song Lyric Sunday is "Girls" and I am choosing Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. How can you feel anything but happy when you hear this song?
Lyrics Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
Hey, where did we go Days when the rains came ? Down in the hollow Playing a new game, Laughing and a-running, hey, hey, Skipping and a-jumping In the misty morning fog with Our, our hearts a-thumping And you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl.
Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down to the old mine with a Transistor radio. Standing in the sunlight laughing Hide behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and a-sliding All along the waterfall With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Just like that Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah La dee dah.
So hard to find my way Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My, how you have grown! Cast my memory back there, Lord, Sometime I'm overcome thinking about Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Laying in the green grass Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la Dee dah la dee dah la dee dah la D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d...

Hope you enjoy them. Have a great day!

A kayaker at sunset
The late afternoon sun captured in this fountain looked so pretty
A Yellow Crowned Night Heron looking relaxed in the water
Brussel Sprouts are decorative in their natural state, but I still can't stand them!
The sky was dappled Like a Monet masterpiece The characters in her world She wished to release The noises in her head Just would not cease
She had not been ready When her world came crashing down Leaving her hurt and confused Betrayed by that clown Stripped of her confidence Shunned by the town
Wandering to the water’s edge She found her magical place On the river bank under the tree Where she would find grace Fumbling with her feelings She practiced her poker face
Her determination her cynosure She returned to her home Rifling through his things with a fine-tooth comb she found the evidence in a cup of Styrofoam
There it was in plain sight A locket for his lover Bearing his and her initials What a thing to discover Outraged she knew what to do She would blow his cover
Quickly she packed his bags dumping them outside the locksmith came She felt fortified He came a-knocking at the door Not at home, she replied
