Forces of Nature

I now know for a fact that forces of nature (and maybe even forces of Dan) are conspiring to make my life wicked confusing.
I've lost sight of the basic things. I kind of had a premonition about the nature of the whole thing, so the shift, in retrospect, surprises me not.
But, even whilst in emotional knots, one has to appreciate the simplicity of being thrown of a wall by the demonstrated possibility of mutual attraction.


Jethro Tull - Wond'ring Aloud

Wond'ring aloud --
how we feel today.
Last night sipped the sunset --
my hands in her hair.
We are our own saviours
as we start both our hearts beating life
into each other.

Wond'ring aloud --
will the years treat us well.
As she floats in the kitchen,
I'm tasting the smell
of toast as the butter runs.
Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed
and I shake my head.
And it's only the giving
that makes you what you are.
