The waters of Aloria by BeachWanderer

In the mystical realm of Aloria, there is a tale told by all old people, about a secret beach that is supposed to heal all ailments.
Princess Anica, the favourite daughter of the king, heard about it and decided to look for it, so it might cure her from her love sickness.
When she finally reached the shore, she realised that she needed to be "herself". The waves whispered: "You are enough. You don't need anyone." 
Swooosh!

If you can't be (sent in by Tuulia)

If you can't be a pine
on the top of the hill,
be a scrub in the valley -
but be the best little scrub
by the side of the rill.
If you can't be a highway
then just be a trail,
if you can't be the sun be a star.
It isn't by size that you win or you fail
be the best of whatever you are!

Forget Me Not by La Belle Dame (sent in by Ashley)

My little one 
You have left us too soon.
Though my body 
can no longer hold you,
I hold you forever in my heart.
As precious and beautiful
as this flower caught in time.
A mother's love
does not forget.

Summer, Sun, Beach and Ocean by Buddy (Lost Card)

Sommer, Sonne, Strand und Meer
was will man eigentlich im Urlaub mehr.
Ein Cocktail oder ein Bananenbrot,
ja das tut es auch zur Not.

Doch das schlimmste, muß ich sagen,
wenn die Zeit so schnell vergeht ich kann es nicht ertragen.
Nun steh ich ihr am Strand und schau auf's Meer,
Tränenden fallen in dem Sand.

Die Sonne geht unter die Wellen tosen,
hinter mir singen die weißen Matrosen.
Zum Abschied weht der Wind durch mein Haar,
der Urlaub war einfach Wunderbar.


Summer, sun, beach and sea
What else do you want on vacation?
A cocktail or a banana bread,
yes, it also does it for emergencies.

But the worst, I have to say,
When time goes by so fast I can not stand it.
Now I stand on the beach and look at the sea,
Watery people fall in the sand.

The sun is roaring under the waves,
behind me the white sailors sing.
Goodbye, the wind blows through my hair,
the holiday was just wonderful.

Land of my Ancestors by Laridian

The idea of living in the land of my ancestors tempts me. It sings to me of self-reliance, of open spaces empty of people, of stark beauty.

The reality is that I am no longer cold-tolerant, and self-reliance is a lot of work; that a place empty of people can mean loneliness and a lack of help in times of trouble.

But oh, that fantasy! Of living in the wild, of dangerous freedom! How it calls to me!

Once upon a time by Shireya

Once upon a time there was
a man on the moon
The night was bright
and the wolf knew that soon
was the time of the night when
if he wanted to, he'd give a fright
even to the man who went where
a wolf never might
(well, maybe if he was a were)
and that was quite alright.

Quote by Rumi (Chiara64)

Vögel ziehen weite Bögen am Himmel
aus ihrer Freiheit heraus.
Wie lernen sie das?
Sie lassen sich fallen,
und in dem Fallen
werden ihnen Flügel geschenkt.

Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom.
How do they learn it?
They fall and falling,
they're given wings.

Tiny Eyes by jacoba

In the smiling haze of Iris
Dawn is thrown upon the earth
When the growing light is reaching
Tiny eyes remember birth

Look and look and look again now!
Living nature gladly cheer
In this coloured world of wonders
There is nothing that we fear

The Tree of Life by Ninja

And Mother Nature held it in her hands and weighted it. The good and the evil in the world. There was lots of evil. But there was also lots of good. She closed her eyes. She decided. As long as there was good in the world, the Tree of Life would grow.

Shine in me by magenta

Among the awe-inspiring mountains,
I found it.
The most brilliant thing in my life,
which will continue to shine in me.

Hold you by manme

When you are too tired,
I can hold you for a little while.
Friends do that.
Sometimes I hold you,
and sometimes you hold me.

Kun et enää jaksa,
minä voin kantaa sinua vähän matkaa.
Niin ystävät tekevät.
Joskus minä kannan sinua,
ja joskus sinä kannat minua.
