Mills.” If the term “spontaneous” conjures up an image of impulsive off-the-wall musical babbling, only a few bars of the first number, “Fireflies” will dispel that myth for good! Born in 19… |

Clear Away EYES OF cobwebs from your
Clearing the cobwebs from your eyes —
The old way of thinking, doing, wanting, dreaming!
Knowing that truths are present is the future,
Undone by what is now well beyond redemption.
Making the life of a vast experiment
Blessed by passion, work, terror, pain,
Without fear of sinking what it meant,
Security flaw is just not in vain.
Do this, and you will the opportunity to be
A sailor on the edge of what you see,
However, the desire for what one can achieve.
Rarely ACCIDENT ACCIDENTAL
Accidents are rarely accidental,
Nor can a sparrow fall, but it changes everything
Waves resulting in a reorganized
Evidence, albeit circumstantial,
Home to one's life more closely spaced
Because it is the sense of something sentimental.
What makes stars ROMANTIC
What makes stars romantic? Is Beauty
In a dark night sky lit with diamonds?
Or the desert blue-white witnesses
Looking back without words, through the abyss?
Or the fascination of forever? (For the love
It is produced whenever a piece of heart.)
Is the need for two when one seems so small?
The desire to play in the temple? The vast and lonely
Field of life where love, too, is a light
In the dark? (So many lovers scattered
The black flag, like burning dust.)
Or is the passion in the heart of a star?
The warmth of love lighting the emptiness,
Hurling its ardor in light years of sorrow
That tells us something about what yearns within?
WITCHES HAVE gone the way of WONDERS
Witches have gone the way of wonders
Asterisks yesterday?
Restores life what separates reason,
To keep our mind for the game.
Once we knew what we knew
It was like a ship in a sea.
Evil spirits roamed
Eternity, and what was true
Never what could be contaminated.
As if flowing, flowing
Because if I were only flowing, flowing,
Without a trace,
Enthusiasm for life or a bit less,
But traveling blank mind;
The vacuum of space to be
When moving yet
The meaning nothing more than one meaning,
Each elliptical ellipse;
Memories like flowers
"He called Before the garden,
So sweet and disconnection hours …
I did not know he had his way
I did not know he had his way.
I just knew that he stopped for tea
And he found inside a beautiful young maiden
That later married.
I I did not know – maybe it should.
All I knew was what was said:
That fell in love at first sight
For half a century.
We know that the time show
A sea in which events move
Like dreams in slow motion with the tide
Drowned in the mercy of the morning.
But death is on the verge of their need of undead
Broke open like a sun kissed seed,
And then I knew what the election had
Suffering for love me.
CHANGES TO FIND YOUR AGENT on obsession
Changes your agent to find an obsession.
Old visions do not occur, but a sea.
Life is undo the myth of mystery.
Under the truth lies in the expression.
The meaning is the mask of history,
Better use those in peaceful possession.
Ultimately, there is no progression.
Sing, then, exchange, and taste what it is!
