Array ( [sid] => 136220 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => You Were Expecting An Interesting Title? [time] => 2007-07-25 14:35:24 [hometext] => One of my favourite writes [bodytext] => "You Were Expecting an Interesting Title?"

There's a place in my head that I've often visited
Where I walk upon the bank of the Lake that bears the Lady
The one that brings happiness to the ones who are in need
But as I walked upon the grass, I found the Lake was all dry
And the Lady who once was smiling was full of sorrow
She said "I'm sorry dear, but I've no happiness left to give you
For I do believe that you might be as empty as this Lake"

Well I know that you're not sure about taking chances
At least not since the time when chance finally let you down
But sometimes when you fall down, you find gold upon the ground
And then everything that seemed so wasted suddenly has meaning
And I wonder...if you were to look down beside your feet
would you find gold or just another stumbling stone?

And even though the sun will rise into the morning's boundary
It doesn't mean that the moon and stars must surrender
Even while the sun may shoot it's golden arrows,
all along it's the moon that everyone is wishing on
And when we step over the boundaries that have always held us captive
We'll see that the only thing we ever feared was seeing a dream appear
And then the heavens will unite in beauty

And sometimes when the present is more than you can take
You need to retrace the steps that made it all that way
Or don't know you know that sometimes you have to travel backwards
before you can start to travel forward?

And I know your heart is beating steadily once again
But would you allow the wind to try and speed it up?
And tell me, would you, yet, allow me to restore the water?
If you won't, then don't feel bad because I understand
that anything worth having is worth waiting on

And anything that's worth having is worth waiting on

"You Were Expecting an Interesting Title?"

Amazing poem.

So different to some other things I have read. So meaningful... and... well... like a surreal story.

Really cool

Nathan
