You
   a river,
fields and woodland
          surrounded,
     here I reside
       in spirit

Like a swan
    that glides
  imperfectly upon
       the rise and fall
of you, I struggle to feed
and survive from
   the banks of
        your flow

I'll travel your waters
   upstream
             and
                 down
    like a water-bird
     I will live
        the rush
                 of you




 Je t'aime plus qu'hier et moins que demain."
I love you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow

Dark Angel,

This is a nice one here, I am glad I read it.
Loved these lines:
I'll travel your waters
   upstream
             and
                 down
    like a water-bird
     I will live
        the rush
                 of you

Regards, sudhir


 Hey you, out there in the cold,
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisle,
With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light.
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you, out there on your own,
Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me?
Hey you, with your ear against the wall,
Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home....

by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall
