Box

Whatever we find
It is all about to last for a while
Just a better way to live on our place
The place that we owe our lives
It's a fragile small box

(The Gathering - Box)

A distance there is...

Come in out of the rain thou sayest -
but thou ne'er stept'st aside;
And I am trapp'd - A distance there is...
None, save me and the bodkin - pitter-patter on the roof;
Behold! - 'tis not the rain; thence me it has to be

(Theatre of Tragedy - A Distance There Is)

Patience

Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.

(Hal Borland)

When shadows grow longer

When shadows grow longer
and the sun sets for the forthcoming night;
our sorrow is stronger
as darkness and death are now near by our side.
Many a sun will set
and tears of grief will be shed.

(Empyrium - When shadows grow longer)
