    I thought you were off to summer school lol

    My favourite song is stairway to heaven by led Zeppelin

    There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
    And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
    When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
    With a word she can get what she came for.
    Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

    There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
    'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
    In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
    Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

    Ooh, it makes me wonder,
    Ooh, it makes me wonder.

    There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
    And my spirit is crying for leaving.
    In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
    And the voices of those who stand looking.

    Ooh, it makes me wonder,
    Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

    And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
    Then the piper will lead us to reason.
    And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
    And the forests will echo with laughter.

    If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
    It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
    Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
    There's still time to change the road you're on.
    And it makes me wonder.

    Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
    The piper's calling you to join him,
    Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
    Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

    And as we wind on down the road
    Our shadows taller than our soul.
    There walks a lady we all know
    Who shines white light and wants to show
    How everything still turns to gold.
    And if you listen very hard
    The tune will come to you at last.
    When all are one and one is all
    To be a rock and not to roll.

    And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

    piano man billy joel
    Billy Joel - Pianoman
    It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
    The regular crowd shuffles in
    There's an old man sitting next to me
    Makin' love to his tonic and gin

    He says, "Son, can you play me a melody?
    I'm not really sure how it goes
    But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
    When I wore a younger man's clothes"

    La la la, de de da
    La la, de de da da da

    Sing us a song, you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you've got us feelin' alright

    Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
    He gets me my drinks for free
    And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
    But there's someplace that he'd rather be
    He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
    As the smile ran away from his face
    "Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
    If I could get out of this place"

    Oh, la la la, de de da
    La la, de de da da da

    Now Paul is a real estate novelist
    Who never had time for a wife
    And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
    And probably will be for life

    And the waitress is practicing politics
    As the businessmen slowly get stoned
    Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
    But it's better than drinkin' alone

    Sing us a song, you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you've got us feelin' alright

    It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
    And the manager gives me a smile
    'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
    To forget about life for a while
    And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
    And the microphone smells like a beer
    And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
    And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

    Oh, la la la, de de da
    La la, de de da da da

    Sing us a song, you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you've got us feelin' alright

    A Favorite Of Mine By Stephen Crane:
    "Truth," said a traveller,
    "Is a rock, a mighty fortress;
    Often have I been to it,
    Even to its highest tower,
    From whence the world looks black."

    "Truth," said a traveller,
    "Is a breath, a wind,
    A shadow, a phantom;
    Long have I pursued it,
    But never have I touched
    The hem of its garment."
    And I believed the second traveller;
    For truth was to me
    A breath, a wind,
    A shadow, a phantom,
    And never had I touched
    The hem of its garment.

    My Favourite Song Is: Carry On Wayward Son By Kansas :..



    Carry on my wayward son
    There'll be peace when you are done
    Lay your weary head to rest
    Don't you cry no more

    Ah

    Once I rose above the noise and confusion
    Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
    I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high

    Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
    Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
    I hear the voices when I'm dreaming,
    I can hear them say

    Carry on my wayward son,
    There'll be peace when you are done
    Lay your weary head to rest
    Don't you cry no more

    Masquerading as a man with a reason
    My charade is the event of the season
    And if I claim to be a wise man,
    Well, it surely means that I don't know

    On a stormy sea of moving emotion
    Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
    I set a course for winds of fortune,
    But I hear the voices say

    Carry on my wayward son
    There'll be peace when you are done
    Lay your weary head to rest
    Don't you cry no more no!

    Carry on,
    You will always remember
    Carry on,
    Nothing equals the splendor
    Now your life's no longer empty
    Surely heaven waits for you

    Carry on my wayward son
    There'll be peace when you are done
    Lay your weary head to rest
    Don't you cry,
    Don't you cry no more,

    No more!

    I like the poem Xia Da quote on her works.
    Solitary rabbit
    Hustling east and bustling east
    Clothes are best when new
    Human best when old

    Song --> the best


    Poems

    I wish I could stop crying,
    I wish I didn't have to try,
    On the outside im smiling
    But inside im dying
    ~~~

    Do Not Speak of the Dead
    Cecilia Llompart

    I was born among the bodies. I was hurried
    forward, and sealed a thin life for myself.

    I have shortened my name, and walk with
    a limp. I place pebbles in milk and offer

    them to my children when there is nothing
    else. We can not live on cold blood alone.

    In a dream, I am ungendered, and the moon
    is just the moon having a thought of itself.

    I am a wolf masked in the scent of its prey
    and I am driven—hawk like—to the dark

    center of things. I have grasped my eager
    heart in my own talons. I am made of fire,

    and all fire passes through me. I am made
    of smoke and all smoke passes through me.

    Now the bodies are just calcified gravity,
    built up and broken down over the years.

    Somewhere there are phantoms having their
    own funerals over and over again. The same

    scene for centuries. The same moon rolling
    down the gutter of the same sky. Somewhere

    they place a door at the beginning of a field
    and call it property. Somewhere, a tired man

    won’t let go of his dead wife’s hand. God
    is a performing artist working only with

    light and stone. Death is just a child come to
    take us by the hand, and lead us gently away.

    Fear is the paralyzing agent, the viper that
    swallows us living and whole. And the devil,

    wears a crooked badge, multiplies everything
    by three. You—my dark friend. And me.

    Ojala
    Oleo a una mujer con sombrero
    La Maza
    Beautiful music and lyrics.
    In english i guess Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen is stunning. Even more performed by Jeff Buckley.

    this is my fave song
    "This Song Saved My Life"

    I wanna to start by letting you know this
    Because of you my life has a purpose
    You helped me be who i am today
    I see myself in every word you say
    Sometimes it feels like nobody gets me
    Trapped in a world where everyone hates me
    There's so much that I'm going through
    I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you

    [Chorus:]
    I was broken
    I was choking
    I was lost
    This song saved my life
    I was bleeding
    Stopped believing
    Could have died
    This song saved my life
    I was down
    I was drowning
    But it came on just in time
    This song saved my life

    Sometimes I feel like you've known me forever
    You always know how to make me feel better
    Because of you, my dad and me
    Are so much closer than we used to be
    You're my escape when I'm stuck in a small town
    I turn you up whenever I feel down
    You let me know like no one else
    That it's OK to be myself

    [Chorus]

    You'll never know what it means to me
    That I'm not alone
    That I'll never have to be

    [Chorus 2x]

    [4x]
    My life, my life
    (This song saved my life)

    My favourite poems would be 'Weather', 'Invictus', and 'Ozymandias'. I can't claim to be well-versed in poetry.

    As for music, I guess that I enjoy most music by The Beach Boys, The Dave Clark Five, and I also enjoy classical music.

    Jabberwocky from Alice Through the Looking Glass~
    `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.


    Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
    The frumious Bandersnatch!

    He took his vorpal sword in hand:
    Long time the manxome foe he sought --
    So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
    And stood awhile in thought.

    And, as in uffish thought he stood,
    The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
    Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
    And burbled as it came!

    One, two! One, two! And through and through
    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
    He left it dead, and with its head
    He went galumphing back.

    And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
    Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
    O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
    He chortled in his joy.


    Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.
