when two ladies I knew passed away,<br />
the tears wouldn't stop, the loss hurt so bad<br />
oh, how I wish they would stay<br />
I really can not believe they are gone<br />
leaving us<br />
alone<br />
<br />
<i>sitting by the edge of the sea</i><br />
<i>I re-live that feeling</i><br />
<i>you and me:</i><br />

I see happy moments last summer,<br />
where I'm pinching my arm: <i>can it be?</i><br />
am I really so lucky to live to see all this<br />
with my loved ones, with my "we"<br />
and that joyous part: feeling free<br />
it wasn't always like that<br />
for me<br />

<br />
The absence of the bad<br />
that makes the good<br />
so good<br />
that makes you feel you could<br />
live and love<br />
be free<br />
be <i>you</i> again <br />
- didn't you see? <br />
<br />
the absence of the bad<br />
that makes your soul go mad<br />
of joy and colour, life's so bright<br />
the sky was never this blue, right?<br />
- really, you didn't feel it too?<br />
how the sounds are now so clear<br />
trust and hope - coming near<br />
and the love can be so strong<br />
finally you do belong<br />
<br />
the absence of the bad<br />
that should have been enough<br />
for you as well to see<br />
you are a part of <i>we</i><br />
that life can be a bliss<br />
sense the heat of a kiss<br />
as tender as this<br />
<br />
the absence of the bad<br />
that open up your world<br />
and makes you free, like <i>we</i><br />
free to enjoy your tea<br />
- just as you like<br />
or go for a hike<br />
things you were never able to do<br />
now you could have,<br />
- why didn't you?<br />
<br />
to be on life so high<br />
because<br />
the absence of the bad<br />
makes us laugh and care<br />
just because<br />
it isn't there<br />
it makes the good<br />
so good<br />
<br />
you never thought it would<br />

and an excited dog right next to me<br />

What to see? What to do? Where to eat? Where to sleep? </i><br />
<br />
Well, lucky me: travelling to Arizona with a bunch of <i>so-to-be-locals. </i>The standard question was more like <i> "What should we show Eli?" </i>or more the persuasive: <i>"Eli <u>has</u> to see this, "Eli must see that" "Oh, we must go there, cause Eli will like that"</i><br />
Heaven, I tell you. What kind people. And so easy peasy: I could just close my eyes, lean back and enjoy... Oh yeah, I can like that! As a first-timer to Arizona, this is what I liked the most (in no particular order- because hey: how can you prioritise a list like this.. not possible, I tell you):<br />

<b>1. Route 66</b><br />
Seen the cartoon "Cars"? The story of route 66. Just cruising down that road made me pinch my arm. I was there. How great was that? The old highway through the US. Now .. still route 66. E.P.I.C.<br />

<b>2. Zane Grey's cottage in Payson</b><br />
In Payson we saw the cottage of the writer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zane_Grey" target="_blank">Zane Grey</a> (31.1.1872-23.10.1939). The name sounds familiar? His work (more than 90 books) were adapted into no less than 112 films (from 1911-1996)! What I liked the most was the he was a writer who liked to "<i>get out there</i>". You know? It is described that he travelled (<i>like we did)</i> to the bottom of the Grand Canyons, including Havasupai, to be close to the Indians, and into the nature - with just a pen and a note book in his hands... That I like.<br />
<br />
Grey was a major force in shaping the myths of the Old West and inspired many authors that came after him. He sold over 40 million books. Erle Stanley Gardner, author of author of mystery novels and the Perry Mason series, said of Grey:<br />
<i>He had the knack of tying his characters into the land, and the land into the story. There were other Western writers who had fast and furious action, but Zane Grey was the one who could make the action not only convincing but inevitable, and somehow you got the impression that the bigness of the country generated a bigness of character.</i><br />

Have you ever felt like you are walking in a film? A western movie? That's what I felt like here. The giant cactus, the sound of lizards, rattle snakes ( I wish:-(), the heat, the yellow grass.

It left me speechless. Never had I know that nature could have such colours: bright green field, dark green cactus, bright turquoise water, red mountains. Colours I have never seen before. And. No internet. No phone. No electricity. Going to bed at sundown, waking up at sunrise. And in the company of people with good energies. Gratitude. Warmth. Laughter. Joy. Love.<br />

sensing the landscape passing by<br />
<br />
light blue sky, dark blue sea<br />
mountains tall, right next to me<br />
<br />
I smell the flowers, the wind's in my face<br />
I close my eyes, I feel amazed<br />
<br />
how lucky am I to see all this<br />
with all my senses - nothing to miss<br />
<br />
it is my country, it is my land<br />
and the key to joy - right in my hand<br />
<br />
I smile to myself, feeling thankful like few<br />
I don't take it for granted, the freedom to do -<br />
- things like this, and enjoy them too<br />
<br />
and with my love, right in front of me<br />
seeing the same scenery<br />
<br />
a joyride, from the back of a bike<br />
nature and wildness - what's not to like?<br />
<br />
to drive along - with wind and sun,<br />
I smile and feel: here I belong<br />
<br />
green fields and white snow and blue blue sea<br />
and a bunch of nice people - around me<br />
<br />
a joyride of life, I enjoyed so much<br />
I am grateful for it<br />
for the moments non stop<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy your moments too<br />
<br />
and if I can<br />
- then so can you<br />
<br />

free to be me<br />

fly like a bird<br />
surf on that sea<br />

climb those high mountains<br />
do not give up<br />

cherish the freedom - be as you like<br />
do not care - let them say what they might<br />
<br />
it doesn't matter - <b>your</b> life is yours<br />
so go ahead - stake out your course<br />
<br />
go where you wish, dress as you like<br />
say what you want, and one day you might<br />

feel that strength from deep within<br />
<b>you</b> own your freedom<br />
- you win<br />

under the stars that were shining so bright<br />
<br />
while we slept in our hammocks, that's where we were<br />
under the trees, no one knew we were there<br />
<br />
what an adventure. my words are lost<br />
trying to describe what I loved the most<br />
<br />
the colour of the water, turquoise, so bright<br />
the trees so green, shimmery silver light<br />
<br />
the red rocky mountains, naked and tall<br />
the blue blue sky, with only eagle's call <br />
<br />
oh, Havasupai, you captured my heart<br />
time stood still, how I wanted it to last<br />
<br />
and not only nature, but the people too<br />
they made the adventure - a fairy-tale come through<br />
<br />
both my own little group and the Indians there<br />
with a laugh, a kind look, and you sense that they care<br />
<br />
about you and the world and the ones they have near<br />
- and they are in the bubble just like you<br />
- with no cars, shops or internet, and they enjoy it too <br />
<br />
and the feeling of being completely away from the whole world<br />
<br />
and yet<br />
<br />
I have never felt more<br />
<br />
alive<br />

to open up your eyes<br />
by sunshine play with curtains<br />
the room is full of light<br />
<br />
you sense a smile just spreading,<br />
feel warm and peaceful too<br />
the dark is long gone from your life,<br />
you're free, the day is new<br />
<br />
you stretch and feel you are alive<br />
for - oh yes, one more day<br />
it's what you have, so hold it tight<br />
and live by what you say<br />
<br />
it's not for all to have it, you know,<br />
so make it yours, my love <br />
<br />
a new beginning,<br />
a brand new start<br />
a day, for you,<br />
and the ones in your heart<br />
<br />
<i>Everyday is a new beginning</i><br />
<i>take a deep breath</i><br />
<i>and start again </i><br />
<br />

beyond the storm, beyond the pain<br />
<br />
beyond the rain and dark clouds too<br />
I saw it clear, and so do you<br />
<br />
I felt it deep, I saw it bright<br />
clear as day, black as night<br />
<br />
a ray of sunshine to get you through<br />
when you think you will not, oh, you will do<br />
<br />
the fog will move away, I say<br />
and just like me, you will some day<br />
<br />
- feel the warmth of sunshine too<br />
oh, my friend, me and you<br />
<br />
we suffered, but we will survive<br />
keep on climbing, stay alive<br />
<br />
and if I manage, so will you<br />
trust me - you can do it too<br />
<br />
a ray of sunshine, is what it takes<br />
trust it, follow, push no brakes<br />
<br />
that is life, for me and you<br />
a ray of sunshine<br />
- for us too <br />

I smile and think: yup, that makes me feel strong!<br />
<br />
to take life in my hands, make my dreams come true<br />
and if I try to do it, my God - so can you!<br />
<br />
because life is a ride and what lies there ahead<br />
an <i>avenuic</i> grande highway or thousand tiny paths instead<br />
<br />
how to know where to go on intersections and signs<br />
what to choose, you might ask, straight ahead? well, you might<br />
<br />
still get lost for a while, but trust me that's ok,<br />
' because still it's your choice - do it your way!<br />
<br />
you are in charge and you make it come true<br />
yes, some bumps, and some turns, still: the boss is you<br />
<br />
<i>but just know: </i><br />
some things you control, and some things you cannot<br />
still: never loose faith that you really will not<br />
<br />
loose power - of how your own ride will be<br />
<i>pssst:</i> if all of them can, then - so can we!<br />
<br />
keep your hands on the wheel for as long as you can<br />
glance aside, check the view, count the stars, oh my man<br />
<br />
- for a slow ride, or a rally, what you want it to be <br />
cruise along, don't look back - look ahead - don't you see<br />
<br />
you wake up every morning with your engines run free<br />
just be bold and be loud, be what you want to be <br />
<br />
- I can glide on still water - only me and the sea<br />
and my loved one perhaps, paddling next to me<br />
<br />

I can run up a mountain, just as steep as can be<br />
and a warm hand holding mine,<br />
smiling: <i>sweetheart, you and me </i><br />
<br />
a bubbling laughter when in the forest deep<br />
hand in hand with a joy to keep<br />
we come over a sign written by a happy man:<br />

breathless, shaky, not all right<br />
<br />
fear is being on alert,<br />
day and night, God, it hurts<br />
<br />
fear is crawling up inside<br />
the safest place there is to hide<br />
<br />
fear is when you can not do<br />
things you like when <i>you</i> want to<br />
<br />
fear can take your life away,<br />
do not let it. Make it stay<br />
<br />
you can do it, fight the fear<br />
use your force, you know it's there<br />
<br />
deep inside you. I cheer you on<br />
your life, only to you - it belongs<br />
<br />
so take your life back, embrace it tight<br />
move on, don't look back, and then one day you might-<br />
<br />
sleep a whole night peacefully without those bad dreams,<br />
take a hike in the mountains, feeling happy, at ease<br />
<br />
control the fear, you can do it, I know<br />
follow your own voice wherever you go<br />
<br />
your strength, heart and passion will guide you through<br />
take a breath, follow it, go ahead- its for you<br />

and when March came along,<br />
<br />
she was gone<br />
<br />
a column in my life, my mum, she was<br />
- still it's an unbearable loss<br />
<br />
yet,<br />
I know she would be glad for me<br />
happy - that I'm strong and free<br />
<br />
- with friends and family, lucky me<br />
to be so loved, and so was she<br />
<br />
- and there on my way from work to home<br />
my tears just flow - because of this tone<br />
<br />
a song that reminds me of the past,<br />
and that some good things - they do not last<br />
<br />
but some things do, if you believe it to be so<br />
give it a chance - and a tender love will grow<br />
<br />
Andante is my song today<br />
for friendship and for love - to stay<br />
<br />
so cherish what you have, my friend<br />
believe in love, until the end<br />
<br />
like she did<br />
like she wanted me to<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: red;">touch my soul</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">you know how</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">andante andante</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">go slowly with me now</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: red;">I'm your music </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">I'm your song</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">play me time and time again</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">and make me strong </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: red;">andante andante</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">tread lightly on my ground </span></i><br />
<br />
<br />
One year ago, I wrote this poem. This year I feel the same. I am the same. Just stronger, happier. Still me:<br />

pain, joy, tears<br />
a tender kiss<br />
<br />
it's sailing out on quiet sea<br />
calm and happy<br />
harmony<br />
<br />
it's climbing to a mountain top<br />
sweat and feel your heart<br />
non stop<br />
<br />
beating - and you sense it strong<br />
you are alive<br />
you do belong<br />
<br />
to life and to your loved ones, dear<br />
to the ones<br />
the ones who care<br />
<br />
and that is life - in just one day<br />
downs and ups and<br />
oh, you may<br />
<br />
turn you face towards the light<br />
choose yourself<br />
day or night<br />
<br />
life is what you want to see<br />
sorrow, joy<br />
mystery<br />
<br />
grab it<br />
live it<br />
make it your own<br />
<br />
it's for you to do<br />
so<br />
please<br />
go on<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
...calm sea.....<br />

I felt like <i>nothing. </i>A nobody. Worthless, down, broken. And you quoted this line...Have you any idea how powerful I felt at that time? And how powerful I feel now? Look at me, where I am?!"<br />
<br />
I smiled. She was so happy. She was offered the new job she wanted so much. Today. I felt a bubbling feeling spreading in all my body. Yay! She did it! So proud of her and so so happy - simply because she was so happy! What a joy!<br />
<br />
And that's the thing. That's the "sisterhood" I share with my <i>besties</i>. The ones who <i>know</i>. The ones you share tears and laughter with. The ones you stand by - shoulder by shoulder. Your wing women. Through thick and thin. Through rain and sun. Those who are there - no matter what. Those who love you for who you are. Unconditional friendship, unconditional love.<br />
<br />
And a poem came to my mind: Phenomenal Woman - oh what a powerful poem! The strength and warmth spreading out from it. And I think of the phenomenal women in my life. The amazing ones. Today I feel grateful for them. And grateful that I am there - and can share - such an overwhelming joy - for my friend today. So happy - that she just did it, showed them, stood up for herself, followed her dream, went for it. Because nobody puts ladies like us in a corner! Nobody!<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Maya Angelou: Phenomenal woman: </u></i></b><br />
<br />
<i>Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.</i><br />
<i>I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size</i><br />
<i>But when I start to tell them,</i><br />
<i>They think I'm telling lies.</i><br />
<i>I say,</i><br />
<i>It's in the reach of my arms</i><br />
<i>The span of my hips,</i><br />
<i>The stride of my step,</i><br />
<i>The curl of my lips.</i><br />
<i>I'm a woman</i><br />
<i>Phenomenally.</i><br />
<i>Phenomenal woman,</i><br />
<i>That's me.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I walk into a room</i><br />
<i>Just as cool as you please,</i><br />
<i>And to a man,</i><br />
<i>The fellows stand or</i><br />
<i>Fall down on their knees.</i><br />
<i>Then they swarm around me,</i><br />
<i>A hive of honey bees.</i><br />
<i>I say,</i><br />
<i>It's the fire in my eyes,</i><br />
<i>And the flash of my teeth,</i><br />
<i>The swing in my waist,</i><br />
<i>And the joy in my feet.</i><br />
<i>I'm a woman</i><br />
<i>Phenomenally.</i><br />
<i>Phenomenal woman,</i><br />
<i>That's me.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Men themselves have wondered</i><br />
<i>What they see in me.</i><br />
<i>They try so much</i><br />
<i>But they can't touch</i><br />
<i>My inner mystery.</i><br />
<i>When I try to show them</i><br />
<i>They say they still can't see.</i><br />
<i>I say,</i><br />
<i>It's in the arch of my back,</i><br />
<i>The sun of my smile,</i><br />
<i>The ride of my breasts,</i><br />
<i>The grace of my style.</i><br />
<i>I'm a woman</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Phenomenally.</i><br />
<i>Phenomenal woman,</i><br />
<i>That's me.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Now you understand</i><br />
<i>Just why my head's not bowed.</i><br />
<i>I don't shout or jump about</i><br />
<i>Or have to talk real loud.</i><br />
<i>When you see me passing</i><br />
<i>It ought to make you proud.</i><br />
<i>I say,</i><br />
<i>It's in the click of my heels,</i><br />
<i>The bend of my hair,</i><br />
<i>the palm of my hand,</i><br />
<i>The need of my care,</i><br />
<i>'Cause I'm a woman</i><br />
<i>Phenomenally.</i><br />
<i>Phenomenal woman,</i><br />
<i>That's me.</i><br />
<br />
So you be sure - nobody puts baby in a corner! Ever!<br />

well, a hike, a cup of tea, with a friend - makes the link<br />
<br />
- to a life that can bring you happiness my dear<br />
the key is gratitude, ooooh, I do swear<br />
<br />
- so, take a moment each day to think about<br />
what you are grateful for - and please please don't<br />
<br />
- dwell with the <i>what if's</i>, the <i>whens</i>, <i>when to be</i><br />
life is now, let yourself sink into it, stay free<br />
<br />
- and be grateful that you can <i>Just Be </i>- one more day<br />
it is not for everyone, so just listen and say<br />
<br />
- to yourself that a small joy is what makes it so big<br />
with its ups and downs, life is what you should <i>digg</i><br />
<br />
and be grateful for small joys like walking on snow<br />
with some fresh air, a sunset, and you linger with how<br />
<br />
- is it possible to feel such a joy for just that.....<br />
<br />
- and it is<br />

as the old year has gently faded away<br />
<br />
a year is like life, with good days and bad<br />
with laughter and joy, some sad and some mad<br />
<br />
still all of them moments that reminds you that<br />
- you are alive and that you really can let -<br />
<br />
- bad things be, and just move on<br />
live again, dare to love, to be strong<br />
<br />
and that is the magic of life, my friend<br />
we will all keep on going till the end<br />
<br />
and we will carry with us our life untill now<br />
that's our luggage: moments and people we know<br />
<br />
on a mountaintop, in the arms of your dear<br />
or alone in a safe place, or to face your big fear<br />
<br />
or wherever you wish with whoever you want<br />
that is freedom, and no one can tell you "you can't"<br />
<br />
because only you own your life, every step of the way<br />
every dull daily minute, every weekend and holiday<br />
<br />
so dear reader, I wish you all the best for the new year to be<br />
and thank you for having read my simple 2016 poetry<br />
<br />
and maybe I'll write a few more in this year as well,<br />
ops, I guess I already did. If you like them that's swell<br />
( - and if you don't, that's ok too<br />
it will stay between me and you:-) )<br />
<br />
No matter what:<br />
I really wish you all the best for 2017. Freedom is being You. Be you!<br />

people rush, all non stop<br />
<br />
to buy, to clean, to get all ready<br />
and still keep mind and body steady<br />
<br />
and what do I do? take a guess<br />
please do trust me, I do not stress<br />
<br />
the cleaning I figured, I will do next year<br />
a few gifts, yes, of course I'll prepare<br />
<br />
- for my loved ones who are close to me here<br />
and I'll send some cards to friends and family far and near-<br />
<br />
home for Christmas, that's a song<br />
driving home where you belong<br />
<br />
and as for me? well, I am right here<br />
so are they, my loved ones I have near<br />
<br />
I so much enjoy these pre-christmas days<br />
I count my blessings and kick my worries away<br />
<br />
and I:<br />
go for a hike in a forest wonderland<br />
with the one that I love, hand in hand:<br />

and we smile just because of the moment we share:<br />

<br />
then, I confess, I go over the top<br />
when I decorate my tree, I do not stop<br />
it's shiny and glittery and all that there is <br />
and the mistletoe is up, just in case there's a kiss<br />
and all of this is because I can<br />

Poonam, a friend so dear to me<br />
I know she would love to see<br />
me go wild, - and just put whatever I like - where and when<br />
just because<br />
<br />
I can<br />
<br />
No one around me - to order, dictate, control or fight <br />
just loving people, applauding wild<br />
when I bring out<br />
yet one more light <br />

so don't take for granted your freedom, my dear<br />
cherish it, feel it, love it<br />
like I do, I swear<br />
I will never let it go again<br />
<br />
This year, I will have blinking red lights on my tree,<br />
just because I can, you see<br />
<br />
I will play my music, dance, laugh and be me<br />
with my loved ones, friends and family<br />
<br />
I am free as a bird, but not everyone is,<br />
so I send a warm thought to all my sis-<br />
- ters out there who still suffers bad<br />
- just the thought of it makes me so mad<br />

What a loving gift I got that day<br />
it sure does keep sorrows away<br />
a sign of beauty and courage too<br />
and love and joy - to me from you<br />
<br />
a sign that the past should stay back there<br />
to dare to love, to live right here<br />
to seek the good in every day<br />
be brave and then some day you may-<br />
<br />
- just know that you have landed right<br />
a sense of peace - both day and night <br />
in your soul and heart, its rooted deep<br />
that's all you need, to take the leap<br />
<br />
to fly like the hummingbird, to do what you like most<br />
a bit of it backwards, so to view some old ghosts<br />
then just leave it behind, let it go, fly away <br />
find your courage to live and love-<br />
<b>- your way</b><br />

So, I had to look up, and read a bit about the hummingbird, as I realised that it meant a great deal to the one who gifted it to me. And I learnt a lot (<i>as this is a bird we do not have in my country</i>). Did you know that:<br />
<br />
- The hummingbird is a tiny colourful bird. Its's name comes from the fact that it flaps it's wings so fast (about 80 times per second) that it makes a humming noise. The fluttering wings of the hummingbird move in the pattern of an infinity symbol - making it a symbol of eternity, continuity, and infinity.<br />
<br />
- The hummingbird can fly right, left, up, down and even upside down! It is the only bird able to fly backwards. Maybe in that way it can teach us that:yes, we can look back on our past, but at the same time: we must not dwell on it - we still need to move forward.<br />
<br />
- The hummingbird is a symbol of love, joy, and beauty. Just think of the hummingbird when it hovers over flowers, never stopping, always searching for that sweetest nectar. Yes, we can also savour each moment, follow our dreams, our own nectar and appreciate the things we love. We can enjoy flowers, aromas and tastes. We can smile and enjoy creation, we can appreciate the good in life, the beauty of the present moment, and the magic of being alive.<br />
<br />
- The hummingbird is a creature that opens the heart. When the hurt that caused us to close our hearts gets a chance to heal, our hearts are free to open again.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
Symbolic of the hummingbird: <br />
- Lightness of being, enjoyment of life<br />
- Being more present<br />
- Independence<br />
- Bringing playfulness and joy in your life<br />
- Lifting up negativity<br />
- Swiftness, ability to respond quickly<br />
<div>
- Expose yourself to joy and love </div>
<div>
- Enjoy life’s simple pleasures and take time to enjoy yourself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The prime message of the hummingbird symbol is: "The sweetest nectar is within!"</div>

Today we remember our loved ones who have passed away.<br />
Today we put candles and flowers at the their grave. We gather. And remember. We get together in parks to see white balloons fly off into the cold foggy winter evening. To celebrate their life and grief their passing. We listen to songs about loss and love. We hug each other, and share the pain. We cry. We mourn our dear ones who are no longer with us.<br />
<br />
I stand here.<br />
And I look out on the sea shore, already with an icy surface. It seems cold, still and empty. It is like the time has stopped.<br />

<br />
How to prepare for a life without her? How to get used to live a life with her not in it?<br />
<br />
Yes, I lit a candle for you today, mum. Yes, I am at your grave shedding tears together with your other loved ones. We who miss you so much. Yes, we mourn. The loss seems unbearable.<br />
<br />
All leaves has fallen of the tree. It looks naked and cold. The sky is pale and grey. Winter is coming and so is your favourite season: Christmas.<br />
<br />
Christmas. For joy, hope and love. A light, when the world is at its darkest. <br />
<br />
I know you. My mum. And I think. You would have told me to stand up straight, get rid of those tears and move on. " What are you doing here? Go on. Live, love, laugh, have fun, enjoy!", you would have said. With a smile. But in a strict voice. <br />
<br />
I get up on my feet. I wipe my tears off. And I start walking.<br />
<br />
I know. You are with me. Every day, every moment. And I smile. Of course you are. Always.<br />

We remember you. We celebrate your life. We can laugh, thinking of happy moments.<br />
<br />
But it still hurts.<br />
<br />
Every day.<br />
<br />
Every moment.<br />

Some of the most comforting words I have read are these by Christopher Walken:<br />
<br />
<i>"Someday you will be faced with the reality of loss. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>And as life goes on, days rolling into nights, it will become clear that you never really stop missing someone special who’s gone, you just learn to live around the gaping hole of their absence. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>When you lose someone you can’t imagine living without, your heart breaks wide open, and the bad news is you never completely get over the loss. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>You will never forget them. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>However, in a backwards way, this is also the good news. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>They will live on in the warmth of your broken heart that doesn’t fully heal back up, and you will continue to grow and experience life, even with your wound. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It’s like badly breaking an ankle that never heals perfectly, and that still hurts when you dance, but you dance anyway with a slight limp, and this limp just adds to the depth of your performance and the authenticity of your character. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The people you lose remain a part of you. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Remember them and always cherish the good moments spent with them.”</i><br />

October is to hike to a foggy mountain top<br />
to cover cold ears and to jump up and down non stop-<br />
- the cold is coming, you feel it all over<br />
but the sun is still warm and you don't want to cover-<br />
<br />
your whole body with wool, no, no, no, it's too soon,<br />
I need to feel warm while I glance at the moon<br />
in the dark autumn night, while the stars shine above<br />
then I go inside with the one that I love <br /><br />October is candles and warm blankets too<br />a tight hug, a soft look -<br />
- and just me and you<br />

So, my October, what a joy that we met </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I say thank you for all the moments, it is time now to let-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you take off, but please know that I'm grateful and smile </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
when I think of all good memories that you do leave behind</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This moment is all we have.</div>

upside down in the middle, seems all ready to fight<br />
<br />
But no need for that, you are welcome to stay<br />
As long as you like, you are not in my way<br />
<br />
Live your life as you wish, in my pink orchid heaven<br />
but please little lady - don't make more kids than seven:-)<br />
<br />
I watch you and smile, my new flatmate, I think<br />
almost invisible you are, can hardly spot you in the pink<br />
<br />
But I know you are here. Still a life - and so small.<br />
Perhaps I should give you a name I could call?<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
of joy and pride - can almost weep </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
of happiness, that is, please know- </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
we made it to the top - somehow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
feet are tired, hearts beat fast </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
our joy - the memory will always last</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'cause what a feeling, to be on top </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
after hiking, all non stop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
through rain and storm we made it through</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
we climbed that mountain, me and you </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
every time I get up there </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
all I can do is sit and stare:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- the world in all its glory: the sea and the sky </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and I can't stop thinking - how lucky am I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
to have a day like that </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
what a gift </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is just where I want to be </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
in the arms of that someone next to me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
on that top </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and with the world at our feet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
how lucky am I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
enjoy the day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
enjoy the moment</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
......getting there......</div>
