I want to fly away by thepoetryofwaves

Ich möchte hinwegfliegen
über das, was sie sagen
und doch kann ich nicht aufhören 
zuzuhören
dazugehören zu wollen

auch mit Flügeln
auch mit dir

vor allem damit
was ich möchte 

ich kann nicht sehen
nur spüren
wie ein Wind mich dahin trägt
wo alle Münder ein Lied singen


I want to fly away
about what they say
and yet I can't stop listening
to want to belong

also with wings
also with you

especially with it
what I want

I cannot see
only feel
like a wind carries me there
where all mouths sing a song

Listen to the wind by Karin

Listen to the wind,
it talks
Listen to the silence,
it speaks
Listen to your heart,
it knows.

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.

Bald Eagles by Bianfu

The bald eagles meet in November/ December in Haines/ Alaska (Chilkat River). 

I always wanted to see this, but apparently Alaska isn't a tourist destination in winter - there were no flights. 

But the dream remains, one day I'll get there ...

Horses by Wyn

I was the typical horse-crazy girl. I especially love Palominos. As much as I begged my parents for a horse, I never got one. I worked at a boarding stable, and had friends with horses, so at least I got to spend time with them.

My high school graduation present was a motorcycle. Since then I have owned five. Currently I have a Moto Guzzi. In 2001 I found the opportunity to become a Motorcycle Safety Instructor. I am happy that I was able to share my joy with others in a way to make them safe.

But I still get a thrill every time I see a horse.
