Each time a dancer moves devoutly or a composer faithfully searches the silence for the veiled melodies, eternity is engaged.

“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship

Sezen Aksu - Ahdım Olsun
https://youtu.be/uIuefNI2fOc

Let It Be My Oath

The years passed, Ah, I recognised late
I have understood that I counted the days in Vain
I gaped at the passing day
I always belonged to yesterday

My childness is scorched
My uouth is untidy
There is no benefaction from my adulthood

Life, (being) stubborn to the fate
I will live you from the beginning
Let it be my oath*

I blew, I rained
I missed (lost) the fast times
Regrets, hostilities
The complaints of my tongue doesn't end**

My childness is scorched
My uouth is untidy
There is no benefaction from my adulthood

Life, (being) stubborn to the fate
I will live you from the beginning
Let it be my oath*







SEZEN AKSU - G�L�MSE

Simon & Garfunkel - America LYRICS:
https://youtu.be/W773ZPJhcVw
"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And walked off to look for America

"Kathy," I said, as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America"

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said, "Be careful, his bow tie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why"
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America


Love Peace & Harmony Wished For Our DN Family of Friends
No Matter Which Corner Of The World Is Your Home,
Love you all to the Moon & Back.

Poem in verses by Ottavio Rinuccini:

Zephyr returns and gentle words
from fa grateful ago It is the footer he dissolves in the waves
and mormoranda among the green fronds,
makes danzar to the beautiful sound su'l meadow flowers.

Garlanded crin Phyllis and Chloris
notes tempering their care and joyous;
and by mountains and valleys and ime profond
have dealt harmony singing the caves.
Vaguer rises in the sky the dawn, e'l sun,
sheds more light d'or; the most pure silver
boasts of Teti the beautiful cerulean mantle.

Sol I, for abandoned forests and sun,
the ardor of two beautiful eyes e'l my torment,
as does my good fortune, I cry hor hor hand.



Peace, Love & Harmony For Our Dn Family of Friends,
Always with Gratitude & Appreciation, your Bonilla
Family love you to the moon & back......
Basket of hugs for all, Carmen, Picasso & Pasha !!

"My Funny Valentine" feat. Sting (2005)
My Funny Valentine (Live Audio from The Wilshire Theatre) (feat. Sting)" by Chris Botti

https://youtu.be/eryKY1fhUlo

My funny Valentine
Sweet, comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay
And each day will be Valentine's Day

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't, please don't change a hair for me
Not if, not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
And each day will be Valentine's
Every day will be, every day will be Valentine's Day

Adele - Don't You Remember (Live at Largo)
AdeleVEVO
https://youtu.be/RDRwqTNLGDs

Don't You Remember
Adele
When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said
No final kiss to seal anything
I had no idea of the state we were in
I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head
But don't you remember, don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby please remember me once more
When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memories?
I often think about where I went wrong
The more I do, the less I know
But I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head
But don't you remember, don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby please…

LeAnn Rimes - The Story (Official Video)
https://youtu.be/l4_lUpnIoTo

[Chorus]
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
Oh, but these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...
I was made for you

[Verse 1]
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
And baby, I broke them all for you
Oh, and it's even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks you do (do)
I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...

"The young May moon is beaming, love.
The glow-worm's lamp is gleaming, love.
How sweet to rove,
Through Morna's grove,
When the drowsy world is dreaming, love!
Then awake! -- the heavens look bright, my dear,
'Tis never too late for delight, my dear,
And the best of all ways
To lengthen our days
Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!"
- Thomas Moore, The Young May Moon



Mother
https://youtu.be/FUih7S4FKbs
"Mother"

You know I want the best for you
As you've always wanted for me
And though our eyes may look alike but
They don't see the same thing
Hurt made a great divide
I added to the pain
My way to survive was shutting you out
Oh I was just a child, I no longer recognize
And now I'm seeing you
Maybe the first time

Mother
You did the best you could, the best you can
I know you did the best you could, the best you can
Do you know you did the best you could, the best you can
Forgive me now, oh I understand

They say we turn into our parents
I guess we know now what they mean
We might be made of broken pieces
But that's not who we have to be
Your mother's mother taught her only how to love
From an empty fearful broken place
Oh you were just child taught to shoulder the blame
But you're a woman now
You can lift your face

'Cause mother
You did the best you could, the best you can
I know you did the best you could, the best you can
Do you know you did the best you could, the best you can
Forgive me now, oh I understand



Basket of hugs to all our dn family, Happy Week,.
Always Carmen, Picasso & Pasha ....................

Happy & Blessed Week Wished To Our Dn Family of Friends.
