Bride to be...

Doodle Doo...

an office notepad...on a lazy wednesday morning :)

Vision of a beach...

Beaches and sunny boi always make me happy :)
Remembering a recent trip to one with sunbeam, I think of this song

There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
when the heat of the rolling world can be turned away
an enchanted moment, and it sees me through
it's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight
it is where we are
it's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
that we got this far
and can you feel the love tonight
how it's laid to rest
it's enough to make kings and vagabonds
believe the very best

There's a time for everyone if they only learn
that the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
there's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
when the heart of this voyager beats in time with yours

- soundtrack 'Can you feel the love tonight' from 'The Lion King'

The next big step...

...and it is giving me the jitters..!!

Stop reading between the lines...

can you trust me the same way i have trusted you?
can you spare me of suspicion?
can you be my strength and not a reason to despair?
can you count on me in your hour of need?
can i hope to be at peace instead of being at war?
can i follow my heart when it leads me to happiness?
can i share the same happiness with you without causing you pain?
can i stand by you through all your plans, joys and sorrow?
can WE together build a better tomorrow?
can WE be each others reason to smile?
do WE have it in us to be at harmony?

The Gift...

What can I give you, my lord, my lover,
you who have given the world to me,
showed me the light and joy that cover
the wild sweet earth and the restless sea?
All I have are gifts for your giving--
if I gave them again, you would find them old,
and your soul would weary of always living
before the mirror my life would hold.
What shall I give you, my lord, my lover,
the gift that breaks the heart in me:
I bid you awake at dawn and discover
I have gone my way and left you free.
