For rowan
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still...

Swiftly dear heart swiftly
For the autumn is upon us
The reaper stalks the fields
And apples ripen on the trees
And the sun is gold above us
In our separate places
It’s the same sun shines to warm us
Though we are miles apart
Softly dear heart softly
For I hear the call of winter
The reaper’s heading homeward
And snow falls to the ground
And the moon hangs full above us
In out different places
It’s the same moon shines to light us
Though we are miles apart
Swift and softly dearest
For the midnight bell is chiming
And the fields are cold and barren
And the owl calls from the tree
And the dark of night approaches
And the lights we hold will falter
And though we hold back the darkness
We may have but little time
For the autumn is upon us
The reaper stalks the fields
And apples ripen on the trees
And the sun is gold above us
In our separate places
It’s the same sun shines to warm us
Though we are miles apart
Softly dear heart softly
For I hear the call of winter
The reaper’s heading homeward
And snow falls to the ground
And the moon hangs full above us
In out different places
It’s the same moon shines to light us
Though we are miles apart
Swift and softly dearest
For the midnight bell is chiming
And the fields are cold and barren
And the owl calls from the tree
And the dark of night approaches
And the lights we hold will falter
And though we hold back the darkness
We may have but little time

We think about it, Sing about it, Dream about it and Loose sleep worrying about it. When we don't know we have it, we search for it. When we discover it, we don't know what to do with it. When we have it, we fear loosing it. It is the constant source of pleasure and pain. But we don't know which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define and IMPOSSIBLE to live without.

Here is another one I like rowan !
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, THAT'S HER.!. "
