And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...

Restful Rain's Birthday 1-1-2008 Gift from the heart of the rain

HOPE

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.


I hope you dance....
I hope you dance...

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance,
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....
I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....
I hope you dance.


(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance.... I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....
I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....
I hope you dance..

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

Blind

Those who dont know the reasons behind the words
remain in total blindness , remain in the darkness of human souls
they see the light
but never feel the heat that burns us
that truns us to ash while we are standing
for those who dont know the reasons behind the words
you can only give a smile and leave it for their imagination.
they enjoy the light of the fire that burns us, they simply enjoy !

Stand In The Rain

Artist(Band):Superchick

She never slows down

She doesn't know why but,

she knows that when

Shes all alone, it feels

Like its all, coming down

She won't turn around

The shadows are long

And she fears if she cries

That first tear

The tears will not stop

Raining down

So stand in the rain

Stand your ground

Stand up when its all crashing down

You stand through the pain

You won't drown

And one day whats lost can be found

You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound

Alone in this fight with herself

And the fears whispering

If she stands, she'll fall down

She wants to be found

The only way out is through

everything she's running from

Wants to give up and lie down

So stand in the rain

Stand your ground

Stand up when its all crashing down

You stand through the pain

You won't drown

And one day whats lost can be found

You stand in the rain

So stand in the rain

Stand your ground

Stand up when its all crashing down

Stand through the pain

You won't drown

And one day whats lost can be found

So stand in the rain

Stand your ground

Stand up when its all crashing down

You stand through the pain

You won't drown

And one day whats lost can be found

You stand in the rain

حلم
خط يتلاشى
بقعة ضوء مترهلة
صوت
يتعارك مع حواجز الصمت
يبحث
أذن مؤذن
همست المإذنة دموعا في المساء للسماء الصامتة
طل القمر فتناثر ضوئه في ارتباك فوق أوراق الشجر
و في الخفاء بكى الجدار
واقفا يحمل جرحه في سكون

OGreat Rain!
Shant Norashkharian

O great rain,
What would my wilderness be
Without your sweet company?
O greatest music of all,
The sky's kiss on the warm soil,
O blesser of thirsty lips,
Heaven's tears when nature weeps...
O greatest lover of all,
You give without asking more,
Abundantly to all fields,
And the mountains and all hills...
Stay a little...

O great rain,
What would my deep sorrow be
Without your sweet melody?
Come and soothe my lonely soul,
Which smolders like burning coal,
Come and blow your cooling breeze,
For my wounds and pain to ease...
O greatest seeker of all,
With each drop you reveal more
Than a thousand mysteries,
The wisdom of centuries...
Stay a little...

O great rain,
What would my confused mind be
Without your sweet harmony?
Every vein of every tree,
Every heart has prayed to see
Your beauty and glory,
O you great rain so holy,
You bring angels piety,
Widowed mothers dignity
Stay a little...

O great rain,
What would my victory be
Without the strength you gave me?
You move rocks with tenderness,
You give warriors happiness,
Inspiration to poets,
And deep passion to the braves...
You give faith to the faithless,
To the peasants warm kindness,
You put the child to sound sleep,
And in sound health crops you keep...
Stay a little...

O great rain,
What would my patience be
Without all that you taught me?
To honor the winter wind,
For the spring that it will bring,
To respect the lowly seed,
Life even in grass and weed,
To persevere, to believe
In the smile that follows grief,
In the good of everyone
That the bad will soon be gone...
Stay a little...

Come rain,Come sweet rain,
What would my solitude be
Without a friend to visit me?
If I could not share my dreams,
Whisper secrets in your ears,
If I could not forget those
Who told me their tales of woes,
Those once loved and abandoned,
Forever gone yet now sought,
Those hopes for respect I thought,
Was now long due to my work...
Stay a little...

O rain,
O great rain,
O sweet rain,
Stay a little...
Stay a little...
Stay a little...



Creal Springs,
Illinois, 1992

time to sleep...

In my corner at the edge, where the earth meets the sky

Can feel sounds emerging into the space

Transforming into images in the end of the day

And before we speak the sun melts them into rain

Back to earth, they start to decay

I miss the rain

I write...
I search for who I'm...
There are no doors!
I knock the first wall!
I was standing there, bored of waiting
Suddenly!
I feel light
Half a sleep
Slowly withdrawn to emptiness...
I awake crying, tears rolling on my face
For how long I was there?!
What happened to me?!
Those moments were not recorded!!
Were they from my paste, or future, or not from all that?!
What could have happened in a moment of emptiness?!
Was it that the chatter in my head went quite,
and it was the time for my real me to speak?!?!
What did it say that made me cry in fear?!
Or was I crying because I failed to hear it?!

I'll knock the door or the wall again...
I'll go to sleep with half mind, half heart awake

Would you speak load this time, please…..

لي وجه

لي وجه وذاكرة
ولي في العمق بيت ما تهدم
فاترك علي الهم استأصل غرابه
اترك على الجوع، هذا الجوع رباني وعلمني كتابه
واذكر اذا استحلفت اني لم ابع اهلي وإن ضنوا عليا
عربية هذي الهموم وانت تعلم)
(عربية، فانظر اليا

I wish I was a tree

copy right of the photo for the photogrpaher

Is it a one side story?
Unshaped
A thousands broken clouds
Disarming mystical dream
Is it about history of an unknown spirit?,
lost to be find in my heart
found to be lost in me
is it whispers that moves my leaves?,
to make them fall gently
then leaves me in the silence of my pain
I believe
I raise my arms and pray
I dream to survive my days
Just to pass
To Rest
To reach safely to my final distention?
That could be selfish of me
I'm weak and my strength is just by dreaming
A small window can let in so much light
