    A Sort Of Homecoming – By U2

    And you know it’s time to go
    Through the sleet and driving snow
    Across the fields of mourning
    Lights in the distance

    And you hunger for the time
    Time to heal, desire time
    And your earth moves beneath
    Your own dream landscape

    On borderline we run
    I’ll be there, I’ll be there tonight
    A high road, a high road out from here

    The city walls are all come down
    The dust a smokescreen all around
    See faces ploughed like fields that once
    Gave no resistance

    And we live by the side of a road
    On the side of a hill as the valleys explode
    Dislocated, suffocated
    The land grows weary of it’s own

    O com away, o com away, o com
    O com away, I say I
    O com away, o com away, o com
    O com away, I say I

    Oh, oh on borderline we run
    And still we run, we run and don’t look back
    I’ll be there, I’ll be there
    Tonight, tonight

    I’ll be there tonight, I believe
    I’ll be there so high
    I’ll be there tonight, tonight

    Oh com away, I say, o com away, I say

    The wind will crack in wintertime
    This bomb-blast lightning waltz
    No spoken words, just a scream
    Tonight we’ll build a bridge across the sea and land
    See the sky, the burning rain
    She will die and live again tonight

    And your heart beats so slow
    Through the rain and fallen snow
    Across the fields of mourning
    Lights in the distance

    Oh don’t sorrow, no don’t weep
    For tonight at last I am coming home
    I am coming home

    Lyrics from U2.com

    ALONG THE WAY
    (from there to here)

    It’s been a pretty good year,
    I’d have to say,
    this journey I’ve been on
    and what I’ve experienced
    along the way —
    more smiles than frowns,
    more laughter than tears,
    and friends who share
    and folks who care —
    yes, I’d have to say
    it’s been a pretty good year.

    For on this journey
    from then till now,
    traversing hills and valleys,
    emotions swayed to and fro,
    pulling and tugging
    at my heart
    more than a little bit,
    I’ve found places to stop
    my spirits lifted up
    so many times
    along the way
    inspired and grateful
    for what life has to hold.

    And as my journey continues,
    I’m thankful for each day,
    the good
    and the bad
    and the in-between,
    embracing them all
    for the adventure they bring
    to this journey I’m on.

    And as I travel along this way
    I remember to stop very often
    to inhale the sunshine and fresh air;
    to stop very often to consider
    the beauty and blessings we share.
    Yes, I’d have to say
    it’s been a pretty good year
    on the road from there to here,
    stopping at the edge of the ocean
    and the brink of a new day
    as I look forward to
    the steps that lie beyond
    and the next phase
    of the wonderful adventure
    I’ve been on from there to here

  • Mary Margaret says:

    a mirror within a mirror
    standing inside begging
    to be clear
    courage inside
    fighting within
    as I reflect a new begin
    will peace be a way
    a different day
    choice to learn
    for future concern
    such as your wisdom know
    can I be a teachable spirit to grow
    in a reflecting
    pool
    Each day being with
    Each of you serenity jewels

    Winter Pictures, Images and Photos

    WINTER SKIES OF RED

    Cold air
    Meets hot
    The skies turns
    Red from the mixture
    Love in the air it would seem

    Fall goin out
    Winter hurry in in
    All wind and air chill
    Its jack frost on his way
    Move over fall and all your frost

    Leaves of white
    frozzen in time and space
    Have no time to move on to the next
    Hangin round and got cough smilin at the wind
    Winter the mean breath season is here for a little while

    Ache and pain
    And I dont mean head aches
    Aches and cold pain from the ice and slush
    Walkin on crushed ice crunch crunch we go slow
    Snow frezzin toes nose runnin cant catch eyes waterin not cryin

    Winter
    It does this to you
    But oh the snow ball fights
    They are so much fun to play
    Once you find your fingers again
    All cozy by the warmth of the fire mmmmmm

    Ice and snow
    Winter is here for a while
    Frost bite toes and noisy too
    Winter and all she coldness to be
    I love winter sittin cozy bt the fire lookin out
