After Romanesque jewelry fell from fashion a new style emerged. Although parallels with the architectural style are minimal the style has been named Gothic. The architectural style already rose in the 12th century but the change in jewelry style lasted until the late 13th century. New techniques and an increased supply of precious stones, made possible by the strengthening of contacts with the East by the traders of Venice and Genova after the damage done by the crusades had faded away, together with the up-rise of larger cities in Europe caused a new fashion to emerge.
The transition from Romanesque to Gothic fashion was occurred gradually. In the 1300's luxury in the form of delicate and exotic clothing entered the French court. The wearing of jewelry was a way of expressing ones rank in the social hierarchy. This, together with the increased availability of gemstones caused a series of laws to be called to life which restricted the use of jewelry. In Aragon such laws occurred as early as 1234 followed by a French ordinance in 1283 and the English King Edward III in 1363. The laws forbade commoners to wear certain types of gem set jewelry and in some cases certain levels of wealth were mentioned which allowed one to wear golden objects adorned with precious stones. The increased supply of gemstones called for more regulation. A law from 1331 forbids the use of paste as a gemstone imitation in Paris and a law from 1355 prohibits the use of oriental pearls next to river pearls. Another one puts a punishment on placing tinted foils behind amethysts or rubies.In London the craft of goldsmith was officially recognized in 1327. Jewelry shops appear to have been selling small ready made articles and do larger work on commission. The largest jewelry producing centres of the High middle Ages were Paris, which was famous for its jewelry throughout the Middle Ages, Venice, Bruges, Cologne and Nuremburg. Jewelry styles were very much alike and it is often impossible to tell were a piece originated. Venice and Genova were by far the most important providers of precious materials, sourced by the cities' traders from all over the East.
Gothic jewelry was more pointed than the rounded forms of Romanesque jewelry. In the 14th century we see little influence from the architectural style in jewelry but by the 15th century its influence increases. Clarity of pattern and line was preferred over the heavy, dense detailing from the past. The result was a style which was more elegant. Stones were set against a plain surface or flat decoration such as niello or enamel. Gold remained the most prestigious metal.
From around 1375 the designs took on naturalistic characteristics and the outline of jewels were softened, something that was achieved by decorating the edge of an object with pearls on prongs. The most valued pearls were imported from the Persian Gulf in those days. The pearls were usually already drilled when they arrived in Europe, something that has led to the belief among the inhabitants of Europe that they occurred this way in nature.
The art of gem-cutting and the greater availability of gems provided change but was a slow and gradual event, traditions proved to be deep rooted. Bruges, situated in modern day Belgium, became the cutting centre of Europe after the Burgundian court moved to the Netherlands in the mid 15th century. Emeralds, rubies, sapphires and spinels were the most precious stones. As mentioned in the introduction laws against the use of imitation stones were put in place but legal imitations did exist. For children's jewelry and funeral purposes imitation stones were used legally.
In the 13th century the classic dress of the European consisted of a high-necked, long-sleeved under dress covered by a short sleeved over tunic. These garments were worn by both sexes and left little room for jewelry except for belts and brooches which formed the larger part of jewelry of the early Gothic period.
The most common brooches were ring brooches, often inscribed with religious texts or expressions of love. One ring brooch of the 13th century, set with rubies and sapphires and decorated with pointillé motifs has the words 'IO SUI ICI EN LIU DAMI : AMO' engraved into the back of the brooch. Meaning: 'I am here in place of the friend I love'. Another 13th century ring brooch, a simpler one has just an inscription as decoration 'IEO : SUI : FERMAIL : PUR : GAP : DER : SEIN - and - KE : NU : SVILEIN : NIMETTE : MEIN' which can be translated: 'I am a brooch to guard the breast that no rascal may put his hand thereon'. From these inscriptions we derive that they were often presented as gifts between lovers.Cameos hadn't lost their popularity since the ancient times and antique ones were highly prized in the Gothic period as well.
As said above the belt and the brooch were the two most common jewelry items. Belts could be of leather decorated with gold plaques, buckles and belt ends. In the Gothic period belt mounts often depicted an architectural motif, decorative initial letters or heraldic devices. At the end of the period saint depictions and religious quotations became popular as well.
Romanesque period but in the Gothic period they were worn by knights, squires and their ladies alike. Marrying with a crown on your head became so common that churches would have a few in stock so that those who couldn't afford one could rent them. The Romanesque crowns had been decorated golden rings and the Gothic addition to the design lay in the characteristic pinnacles called fleurons.
By the 1450's the high necked dress made room for a new fashionable dress with a low neck. This triggered the return of the pendant. Other jewelry that was worn around the neck were the typical collars worn by nobles.
Devotional jewelry like badges of saints, paternosters or Agnus Dei medallions were enjoying a huge popularity. Badges were sold at pilgrim places and the Agnus Dei medallion was produced in Rome and blessed by the pope. The badges and medallions were worn as pendants, brooches and sewn onto clothing.

Vebenia bonariensis
I been asked to help transform an existing meadow at work. It's been mainatained over the years by mowing in the late winter and I'm sure there has been plenty of small cedars removed over the years. I do see there are a few that should be removed. My question is getting of tract here but would it be better to when the cedar are removed to transplant a larger sized plant like Joe-Pye or sprinkle seeds of something like V. bonariensis? I want them both to attract more butterflies.
I not sure about the soil yet or even what growing. Haven't reached that point. The leas is rather large almost 25 acres. So lot of place to try but I want to get it going more than a trial.
I've been reading the post to get some ideas and I'm guessing it depends what part of the county and how native one thinks it should be.
I really like this Verbenia. I have seen it when it's happy in a home garden take over. How does it done for you? I'm in NJ.
Sorry to let you down, but if would like to make your meadow closer to a "native habitat", by planting species native to the mid-Atlantic United States (your home region and mine too) then Verbena bonariensis is not a good choice. Verbena bonariensis originates from Argentina and Brazil. It often becomes invasive (displaces other species by self-seeding and rapid growth) when introduced to a new home with a favorable climate, such as ours. For example, see this link:
The next link, Missouri Botanical Gardens, also mentions invasive tendencies:
And your own comment, "I have seen it when it's happy in a home garden take over", confirms the invasiveness.
If you are looking for wildflowers to attract butterflies, there are a great many native alternatives. Here, for example, is a "top fifteen" list of "top native nectar plants for adult butterflies" from a garden center with a yearly butterfly exhibit in the Washington, DC area. (I have planted a number of these, and can testify that they really attract butterflies.)
By the way, if you (like the butterflies) enjoy the purple flowers of the Verbena, you will see that there are many shades of PURPLE on the following list:
1. Apocynum cannabinum - Dogbane or Indium Hemp. White flowers. Dogbane family.
2. Asclepias syriaca - Common Milkweed. Lavender. Milkweed family.
3. Asclepias incarnata - Swamp Milkweed. Deep lavender to rose. Milkweed family.
4. Asclepias tuberosa - Butterfly Weed. Bright orange. Milkweed family.
5. Eupatorium (several species) - Joe Pye Weed. Lavender. Composite family.
6. Echinacea purpurea (*) - Purple Coneflower. Purple, of course. Composite family.
(* not a true native to the eastern coastal plain and Piedmont region; native a bit further west)
7. Vernonia novaboracensis - New York Ironweed. Intense purple. Composite family.
(other mid-Atlantic native ironweeds are Vernonia gigantea - Giant Ironweed, and Vernonia glauca - Broadleaf Ironweed. I highly recommend all of these as an alternative to the Verbena if you are looking for bright purple flowers that attract swarms of butterflies).
8. Cephalanthus occidentalis - Buttonbush. White, button-like flowers. Madder family.
[9. Cirsium (species) - Thistle. Composite family. I am putting this one in brackets because there are several very weedy non-native species, so you would want to make sure you have seeds of the correct species before planting. Other posters on this forum can provide more information about Cirsium.]
10. Solidago (species) - Goldenrod. Yellow, of course. Composite family. The most common species, especially S. canadensis, are probably already well established in your meadow; you could seek out some of the less common natives for planting.
11. Aster novae-angliae - New England Aster. Deep purple. Composite family. There are a number of native Aster species, with flower colors from white, pale blue, and lavender to deep purple (with the New England Aster at the purple end).
12. Bidens (species) - Tickseed Sunflower. Yellow. Composite family.
13. Liatris (species) - Blazing Star. Purple. Composite family.
14. Monarda fistulosa - Wild Bergamot. Lavender. Mint family.
(Also consider Monarda didyma, Beebalm, with brilliant scarlet flowers.)
15. Pycnanthemum (species) - Mountain Mint. White. Mint family.
Cirsium muticum (Swamp Thistle) and is one of the best butterfly plants for wet areas. Not only do the flowers attract them in droves it is an important larval food plant for many species. I have a picture somewhere of a single plants with three giant swallowtails and a giant fritillary on it. Also have several pictures of common swallowtail and pipevine swallowtail on the flowers of this plant. The seeds are probably good forage for small birds like goldfinch too. Another nice plant for moist to wet soil is Filipendula rubra (queen of the prairie).
There are a few native Verbena species that are nice. Again for wet soil there's Verbena hasta (blue vervain). For drier soil Verbena stricta (hoary vervain) is an attractive plant and I have a few photos of skippers on this one.

"Such a pretty, serene baby card, just perfect for baby shower thank you. Everything was done as ordered in a timely fashion. I am very impressed with your work."
"Great card for boy/girl twins! Love the bright colors and the polka dots on the back of the card. A little smaller size than I expected, but still a fun card."
"I got the pink color. They turned out adorable. I didnt get my name on the bottom. The card is thick and very pretty. Almost looks glittery. Very girly and fun!"
"I had these made up with matching address labels to give my daughter and son-in-law when they purchased their first home. They loved them! They are simple but classy."
"I ran out of my other personalized thank you notes and ended up ordering these in their place. If I would have known how great these cards were, I would have ordered them originally. The colors are so vivid and the quality of the paper is excellent. I especially like the polka dots on the back. Well done Tiny Prints!"

'The Perks of Being a Wallflower': New Poster, Preview Footage Revealed (Video)
Amid all the hype from the summer's highly anticipated fanboy blockbusters – Prometheus, The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man – those looking for a romantic, coming-of-age drama will be awaiting the fall release of The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
The Summit Film, directed by Stephen Chobosky, has maintained a relatively low profile until recently, when the studio debuted the first official one-sheet. MTV also revealed the first footage of the forthcoming trailer, which is set to premiere during the MTV Movie Awards pre-show with a special introduction from actress Nina Dobrev. Watch below for a sneak peek.
Based on the 1999 epistolary novel, penned by Chobosky and published by MTV, the film stars Logan Lerman as Charlie, an introverted freshman, who learns the ropes from two seniors played by Emma Watson and Ezra Miller. Paul Rudd, Mae Whitman, Melanie Lynskey, Kate Walsh and Dylan McDermott also star.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is set for a September 14 release. The one-sheet below features the three main characters against a brick wall, painted green, and the tagline "we are infinite."

Drag Me to Hell
by Gavin
posted Jun 3 2009 9:47PM
Drag Me to Hell (Rated PG-13) Gavin Grade: A-
The trailer for this movie proudly announced "Sam Raimi's triumphant return to Horror" and boy they couldn't be more right. Director Sam Raimi, who you probably know from the Spiderman movies, is a cult hero of mine and many other fans of film because of some of his earliest movies which are The Evil Dead triology. These movies are a mix of slapstick comedy, gross out effects and scary, scary stories and images. "Drag Me to Hell" is not only following in that same line, but has kicked it up a notch. When I saw this, there were a bunch of idiot teenagers sitting in the back of the theater talking loudly and screaming at the screen. My girlfriend, Stacy, was getting more and more annoyed, but I told her that if you're going to see any movie with a rowdy theater, Sam Raimi movies are the ones to see. You know, it's no easy task to not only make a movie that is hilarious and terrifying with equal parts yet still maintain a purely fun movie going experience. His use of color and sound amazes me in this film. 100% of the suspense is created purely by the sound effects and the amazing music score. The special effects are decent enough for what it was aiming for. I frankly would be a little bummed if the King of the B Movies suddenly got a $100 million budget dropped in his lap to make a horror film. There aren't any big names or even famous faces in this except for maybe Justin Long (who, at the very least, you'll recognize as the Mac guy.) But stealing the show is Alison Lohman, who I last saw in Tim Burton's "Big Fish." For being an adorable, angel-faced doe, she really holds her own as the star of this VERY physical role that's very much like the Bruce Campbell role in The Evil Dead films. Please don't see this film expecting the types of horror that we've only had to chew on for the past few years. This is a rare breed of horror that doesn't come along very often and when it does it's meant to be enjoyed for exactly the only reason it was made...to have fun.

We were only there 2 days waiting for cruise ship but enjoyed the
location. The staff were friendly and helpful. It took us a while to
work out the bus system but once we did it was good. Could I suggest
that when giving directions to foreigners that you tell us which way is
North. Coming from down under it is not always evident. Thanks - Anonymous
Good location, good value for money. - John
Staff were excellent and very helpful and informative! Room was comfortable and clean and kind to my budget. San Diego is lovely, relaxed and tropical feel. Would definitely stay at this motel again! - Anonymous
Great position and quiet considering its proximity to the freeway, which is unobtrusive, light complimentary breakfast is adequate - Trevor
The manager Dan was very helpful and just an all around great manager. - Anonymous
Excellent staff and very helpful. They never say no whenever you are in doubt. Keep up an excellent service. The room condition is superb and very comfortable. I will recommend anyone who are coming to San Diego for short duration, better for him to stay here while looking for a permanent place. - Dzulkarnain
Very clean and neat. Good location. Free guest parking (though first come first serve and can fill up on busy nights). Staff is very friendly and helpful. Motel was very safe with security present nightly and room key needed to access motel at night. - Anonymous
The staff was amazing and efficient and it was located close to all
popular attractions. We especially loved the security guard checking in
cars and people making sure only residents of Motel 6 were
parking/walking around property. Made us feel safe. - Anonymous
Very good for value and location (1stop from airport). Room had everything you need, fridge, ironing. Free coffee pool .
Laundry available, parking space available. Delivery available. - Anonymous
Staff at the Hotel was very nice. Front desk gentleman when we checked out was extremely polite and helpful. - Anonymous
The staff was very friendly and welcoming, especially Rodney. Rooms were newly remodeled and nice and clean. They were well appointed with a small frig, microwave and a 1 cup coffee maker.
The pool is at their sister property one very short block up the street - no big deal at all.
For the price this is a great property to stay at. The beach is at the end of the block. There are restaurants, shopping, convenience stores, drug stores - just about anything you could need - within walking - Anonymous
Nice staff, great dog walking area and path. - Anonymous
From the front desk staff to the cleaning crew, all the staff was extremely friendly and willing to help in any way. We especially enjoyed the people who helped with the complimentary breakfast. The hotel was centrally located so we were never more than 10 minutes from the things we wanted to do. I would definitely stay there again. - Anonymous

Logitech to retain Harmony brand, sell Harmony Hub
Following an earlier public disclosure that it was looking to sell its Harmony remote control business, Logitech has announced that it will retain the well-known product line. In a release, Logitech said, "The company has determined that retaining ownership is in the best interest of its shareholders. The Harmony product line has gained momentum following the April introduction of the Hamony Ultimate product, which is available in major retail locations including select Apple stores in the U.S., and has exceeded the company's expectations for customer connections."
Logitech also announced that the Logitech Harmony Hub – a bundled component with Harmony Ultimate and Harmony Smart Control that turns iOS devices into universal remotes – will be available for purchase as a standalone $100 product this August. Harmony Hub is a universal remote control accessory for iOS devices, consisting of a wall-powered 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi receiver, Infrared blaster, and Bluetooth 3.0 chip. The glossy black accessory transforms Wi-Fi commands sent by an iOS device into Infrared or Bluetooth control signals for TVs, A/V components, and game consoles. It's an upgraded version of the company's prior Harmony Link, notably adding better software and Bluetooth support.

These Life Song poems are examples of Life poems about Song. These are the best examples of Life Song poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
There are legends I've heard, old songs in the dark
of the old folklore tales, and the old gypsy trails,
where traveling caravans of rugged old wagons
still echo, with longing, in valleys below...
Where each treasured belonging,
was packed in a hurry
all the stories, all the worry, all the heartache would travel
all the sunshine, and the sorrow, celebrations to marvel
and dreams of tomorrow, were kept on the road....
The trail was a friend, and the loam was their home
Their needs were quite small,
For, they didn't expect, to be wealthy or rich.
All the riches they had, were scarce and so few...but they knew
that happiness could be the sun on your back, or a sky, wide and blue...
Not much to expect, and not even respect...
would be theirs to be owned.
As the twilight would come, under a red setting sun,
with the fragrance of loam, and the tired walk done...
they would bed under trees where the heather was strewn
they would burn a small fire, and prepare a warm meal,
with smoke in the breeze, while the whippoorwill's song
and accordion tunes, would drift by the face of the moon
On their heels was the dust, in the noontime sun
They rose with the dawn, and the gold of the past,
wearing the colorful hope of tomorrow's new task
Working wherever a meal, and dollar would come
Then moving again with their band until dusk
over, and over and over again...
Some called them tramps, and some called them small thieves
But the heart of the matter, was the love of the sun,
the love of the life that came from the moon,
from the stars, and the grass, and the rust of the leaves
For those who encountered, and who gave them a chance
could learn many things by watching them dance,
and learn many things by hearing them sing,
and pay close attention to how much they knew
that fortune is something that comes from inside
It comes with the pride, of knowing what matters
The tattered, lost life of the old gypsy tribes ....
might be the saddest of stories, or loneliest song...
a song that has faded,
that has dwindled and died....
5/18/12 2nd place in PD's "Epic" contest
My soul understood Lynyrd Skynyrd
Like Ronnie I had monkeys to
Just simple boys chasing life's joys
With our needles playing our blues
My soul understood Pink Floyd
For I have lived inside the wall
Comfortably numb and ignorantly dumb
Living my life forever tasting the call
My soul understood Nirvana
The White Horse has lived in my stall
I've tasted death at the edge of my breath
As my soul just nodded through it all
Like Creed I am my own Prison
No appeal on the docket today
What I learned from John Lennon
We all need to learn how to pray
Morrison took me to the roadhouse
Like Merle they locked me away
And I guess just like Creedence
I've seen rain on the sunny day
You know I do love Hank Jr.
Especially when he sings the blues
It seems so many of us just hop on the bus
Forever lost in the Addictions we choose
Sometimes I feel just like Kid Rock
I'm just sitting here in search of myself
I have great respect for Garth Brooks
For his family he put his career on the shelf
Johnny Cash sang of San Quentin
I heard the song in one of its cells
Locked up inside of that medieval prison
You feel like you have made it to hell
Like Jerry Garcia I fried in Berkley
Like Hendrix I dropped acid in my eyes
To this day when I hear Janice Joplin
I just want to break down and cry
The Eagles played the Hotel California
I have led the dance on that Prison yard
Guns & Roses sang of the Jungle
Prison is a world very cold and hard
These are a few of the songs and the makers
Ones that have shared my story and plight
When I die just play dust in the wind
As I ride the stairway to heaven that night
If my song is granted one purpose
And the music I'm allowed to choose
Let it be said that the song in my head
Was country rock with a touch of the blues
And let that song forever tell a story
A horrible story that ended so bright
For when Jesus Christ grants his mercy
Even the most blind can be led to the light
So Lord let my life be your lighthouse
Lord please guide my story as it's told
And whatever you do Lord I beg of you
Help me stay worthy of the heart that I hold
Inspired by one of my favorite bands, Rise Against, and the song is called,
"Ever-changing" (Acoustic). Please listen to this song if you don't know of it. It's raw &
"Have you ever been a part of something? That you thought would never end. But then, of
course, it did." –Rise Against
"I fell in 'Like' with you"
With her smile
I melted unto oblivion's redemption
Candy coated perceptions, windows' gap
Seeping brilliance refreshment
Uncertainty resolution, polished
Absorbed into closeness sun
Yet these eyes still…see
Butterflies taking notice, missing you…as you stood in front of me
Strong, yet soft legs
Foundation of my face to rest upon
A cremated sin
Yet, elongated moments of silence
Created abruption's new face
The face of change
When she turned to me and said
"I'm not sure, anymore"
Emotional lullaby, rocking me to sleep
New battles with spectral flashback
Trying to get under my skin, a drunken tick facing demise
Phoenix's sunrise, rejuvenating my recycled defenses
Yet, today, these rays just aren't bright enough to burn sadness away
And with these sounds of storm clouds & Fall on horizon's breath
These grounds are so familiar, yet bittersweet
This heart doesn't want to be enlightened by karma today
It wants to be held for how it shines now
Denied…distance wins again today
Slavery whipped punishments in miles and blocks
This must end
Because I try to keep lines open to get a call from you
Yet all I hear are booty calls with busy signals
And yet something has kept me here too long
But can they leave me, if I'm already gone?
Something has kept me here too long
Karma's laughter
But, through it all, I will shine
How I wish my mere presence can bring joy's tear to her eye
Sadly though, now, the lines are drawn
Yet I wonder if this feeling is gone
Have the best parts of this…come and gone?
Maybe I'll never know the truth
Perhaps she was misguided by jealousy's deprivation
Deteriorating heart's splendor
While I fell in "like" with her
Perhaps "Better Man 2.0" appeared from Cloud 9's fallacy
While I fell in "like" with her
She held onto the past
As I, drawn to waterfall's edge
Allowed myself
To let go…and F

"We adore those who hurt us. Yet, we hurt those who adore us." -Anonymous
One thing that I know all about, without any doubt
The meaning of "Oppression of The Soul."
I once shattered all my dreams, with ill-gotten schemes
Along with every single goal
Emptiness is a real dark thing
As it eats its way through your soul
I found the bottom of the pit, all I can say of it
It truly was a very empty hole
I guess every story has a meaning
Just as every game has a price
If you look closely at me, you'll be able to see
A lifetime of pain in my advice
Oppression is a real dark word
Regardless of how the word is used
If you're in the shadow of it, the bottom the pit
You know what it means to be abused
For years I walked in the shadows
I had nothing but hatred for the Son
I just couldn't see, why it had to be
All the things in my life that had been done
If you were to look into my eyes
And read all the stories they have to tell
All you would be able to see, is pain and misery
A shadow that was in a living hell
I know all about oppression
For it rolls upon the shores of hate
I once looked in the mirror to see, a ghost living in me
Just a skeleton walking through his fate
I also know all about redemption
Behind every shadow there rest some form of light
With in the breath of a prayer, I learned how to care
Thus changing the course of my plight
Every story has a meaning
There is a way to right any wrong
Grasp to the light, and then hold on tight
As you search for the meaning of your song
My song once was heavy metal
I truly loved to bang my head
An empty soul, with a bottomless hole
A never-ending hunger to be fed
Now my song is a ballad
A story that is full of hope and love
I learned how to pray, and give it away
Accepting grace from the Lord above
Oppression crosses our paths everyday
It is everywhere to see
You know what's right, learn to stand and fight
You will have learned to be all that you can be
Written for the "Oppression of the Soul Contest)
We knew , it was if a moment stopped in time
hearing the news before most of the World did
He loved to fly his plane from Colorado to Monterey Bay
He was a avid golfer at Pebble Beach respected
He had loves and passions from many places
deciding to fly low through the overcast red sunset
Not only did he love music and inspire all
He loved his Plane , he will always remain a beautiful Soul
The next day it was confirmed ..all saddened
It was John Denver's plane that went down
Today in Pacific Grove stands the Memorial
So Kiss me and smile for me we will ~
always in loving memory
OH babe , do we hate you go ~
Inspired by ; contest in Music and Loss of an Artist
"Leaving on a Jet Plane "
I've Scribbled This Song For You...
I'm wasting my days,
my empty nights too,
I should have held on,
but I simply lost you,
now I stagger along,
wearing broken smiles,
in between hell and you,
there's a million miles,
yes, I should have kept,
you close to my skin,
soaking your warmth,
but you were laughing,
at my foolish grin...
now I'm all broken,
and torn apart,
but what the hell,
I was always late,
for the tolling of the bell,
and now...
now I stagger along,
wearing broken smiles,
in between hell and you,
there's a million miles,
so kiss me now like you once did,
I'm tired of being so carefully hid,
la laa laa la laa laa laa...
(repeat to fade)
I haste not
I fear not
in harmonious cries, I plead
where flight has called this mighty warrior
red paint upon my cheek
O cleansing smoke of wild grass high
of resin and sacred bead
a vision has taken this warrior's cry
anon, to capture a dream
I crawl through gates to reach the ledge
where spirit and smoke arise
and pluck the painted Northern Flora
and gaze through Savanna's eyes
I had a horse named Suzie Haus when I was twenty-one.
I had wanted her since I was seven, the waiting was finally done.
She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen, in the World up to that day.
And forever in my memory her beauty will continue to stay.
A painted mare with a black mane and tail, then brown over white.
She became the best friend I'd ever have, you might say we were tight.
I fed her every morning, as I talked to her as I cleaned out her stall.
Then every night I did the same, plus cleaned four hooves all.
I brushed her to a shine, I was so proud of her each day.
Then with a saddle, reins, and me…we were on our way.
The stable was near a river, on top a great big bluff.
A dirt road shadowed with trees allowed us to strut our stuff.
As we danced down the road, the lightening bugs rejoiced.
And gentle breezes touched us, giving the leaves their voice.
Then peace would settle round us, as off to trails we would sashay.
This was the stuff that dreams were made of, and I had it every day.
Birds could be heard throughout the woods, the serenade complete.
I saw the river far below, and the sky with clouds of fluff so sweet.
Sometimes we were with others, but most often we were alone.
But it didn't really matter, for we always knew the way home.
As we turned to go down the bluff, the river urged us to come below.
Deer danced on the land beneath, in the fields a buck and does.
The gentle angle to the floor below, allowed us to mingle in.
They let us close within a few feet, they thought Suzie was a friend.
At the river the blue sky with a reddish sunset had lite everything aglow.
Soon river barges came floating by, and it was quite a show.
Fishermen sat there minding their peace, until the moon began to glow.
The moon twinkling on the river below, was always beautiful and clear.
We'd talk a while, and breathe so deep, the air had a different flavor here.
Once I met a young man looking for inspiration to write a song.
At that time it began to rain so I helped him quickly get where he belonged.
He thanked me profusely, as he made it to his car.
I had helped him save his love, a very beloved old guitar.
From inside his car he played a song he'd written, while he had been there.
I sat upon Suzie beneath a canopy of trees, that sheltered me, I swear.
Finally the rain and song were done, my serenade complete.
Then I rode off back to home, later achieving more memories and gentle treats.
As a peaceful wind pushed long and free
simple love had arrived in perfect time
with a song of jubilation rolling pure through the valley
a seed of love took flight in summer winds free
simple love had arrived in perfect time
as I lay naked upon ancient rocks of graceful light
a seed of love took flight in summer winds free
Gods grace in delicate strokes touched me
as I lay naked upon ancient rocks of graceful light
with a song of jubilation rolling pure through the valley
Gods grace in delicate strokes touched me
as a peaceful wind pushed long and free
There is nothing with so much life as a Christmas snow
The crisp air is still as little dancing stars float to the earth
Strong old trees become burdened with drifts of white upon their bows
But seem honored to be dressed in such finery and appear almost to move
In fact, everything has come to life to watch the snowfall.
Then everything is quiet
There is a whisper in the air
It ripples through the trees
See the birds, they are the first to recognize the whisper
As the Masters of Chorus, the birds know it is a song
They sit as true musicians memorizing the lyrics and rhythm
So, the snow speaks, the voice is old, like it has sung this song many times
As the squirrels could tell you this is a lullaby, and they begin to search from their
perches in the trees for the newborn
And life and love has never felt as strong as now
A horse in its pastures stomps his foot disturbed
Though he hears the song the birds do and the lullaby the squirrels hear, he,
along with all of the worlds creatures, could swear he just heard a cry
The squirrels chatter with laughter, knowing they where right and the birds take
up the snow-song to welcome the child they heard cry
And then they stop and the world is silent
The snow has stopped falling
The cry was only a memory from Christmas long past
The child, a child of time whose
Voice comes with the Christmas snows,
To give every soul the chance to hear
The song of joy and love and beginning,
So it is never forgotten;
The song of the Christmas Snow
There's a part of me that still lives on the water
A part of me that you can never keep
Tears fill my eyes as I dream of the ocean
I see that island paradise in my sleep
My fishing boat lies sleeping in the harbor
Anchor weighing heavy on the ocean floor
I still miss all those nights at sea
My fishing boat will sail again no more
This was the life that I had chosen
From one port to another I would roam
Never stayed long enough to be familiar
Never knew a place I could call home
Sometimes I walk along the shoreline
Listening to her song out on the sea
That's when I know that someday I'll be leaving
The song she's singing is calling me
There is something magical in a night at sea
There's a million stars hanging all around
Untold stories lying behind me
New horizons yet to be found
Now that my sailing days are over
And my life is shifting gears
I can still resurrect those memories
When I taste the salt in my tears.
"I have a dream, a song to sing"
About an earth seen from up in space
Like an Agate marble swirling green
How much longer will that be the case
When the broad picture viewed be defaced
"I have a dream, a song to sing"
About an earth that now has many faults
People here are fighting death to brothers bring
When our leaders to us say what is false
But I believe in angels with them I waltz
"I have a dream, a song to sing"
When I cross that river stream
On my way over I'll turn and see
An earth that has healed been redeemed
As I cross that stream_into my everlasting dream

The Boatman's Song 2/ Many
Urvashi's heart was aching to hear and to see the elegance
Of the boatman, while he sing those melodies on earth
A great longing started sprouting in her bosom
To visit the earth and to listen those heart touching songs
Which like a powerful magnet were pulling her towards earth
Where flows the Ganges and lives her unseen love
To control her ever increasing desire of hearing those songs
And to see that unique boatman, who lives on earth
Urveshi tried to engage her more and more
In the courtly dances and engagements for Indra
But the more she wanted to escape, more she became enchanted
By the echoes of boatman's songs
Which were tearing her heart and
Making her mind almost intoxicated,
By the melodies of those heavenly songs
The pleasures and comforts of heaven began to pinch her
Like the piercing thorns
Even the dance and music, which were her pride and passion
Became dull and charm less in the wake of those songs
For which she was hailed
As the best among all the Apsaras in the entire universe
Heaven seems to bring no joy and rejoicing for her any more
Her dancing steps, which were the symbols of perfection and beauty
Even started betraying her
As her own heart was no longer in her possession any more
And she found that her mind and heart
Were swept away by that unseen boatman
Sailing his boat somewhere on earth
Apsara Urveshi after finishing her dance that day
Told the God of heaven, Indra
That she perhaps can no longer perform any dance
Owing to agonies of her heart and restlessness of her mind
And her legs were not in tune with her mind to perform
A flawless dance and song by which she had captured the
Hearts of all Gods and Goddess, what to say of humans on earth
She thought and thought and found that she can only normalize
If she can hear the songs of the boatman
Singing in full throated ease on earth
The echo's of which were hovering in her mind like clouds
And twisting her heart to see that singer sublime

Her breathing moves a strand of golden hair
that lays upon her pillow, next to mine,
yet in this evening birdsongs on the air
awaken me to listen and recline.
This errant bird, whose song dispatches sleep,
is laughing at a long forgotten jest
or maybe woos a distant mate who, deep
inside her feathered nest, finds better rest.
I watch the window, night begins to fade
and so do I. As slumber beckons me
I hear a distant answer softly made:
A dawn duet resplendent in our tree.
A single song brings answers in the air
as my beloved sleeps without a care.
The lady I love is true to herself
and in that respect she is true to me.
She has cast her eyes to see no one else.
Such a love as ours is ordained to be.
To loves sweet song our hearts beat as one
and in that respect she is true to me.
The game of life, it seems, we both have won.
With our children raised grows our family.
To loves sweet song our hearts beat as one.
Although we are old, we live cozily
our days pass quickly in a hurried style,
with our children raised grows our family.
When I close my eyes, I can see her smile.
Our love is still strong yet our time grows short
Our days pass quickly in a hurried style.
We will be together in Heaven's court.
The lady I love is true to herself.
our love is still strong yet our time grows short.
I have cast my eyes to see no one else.
The Boatman's Song 7/Many
Inner Conflict of Urveshi
While her mind was cautioning her to retain
The comforts and luxuries of heaven
And not to go to earth, which can take form her
The blessings to live in heaven
Her heart again tried to murmur in her mind
Was she really happy? In the heaven sublime
Was not she tired of living in comforts and
Was not she fed-up with the non ending joys?
What was this life without anything to sacrifice
Without the joys of pains and pleasures after sufferings
Where everyone meets, but no one departs
Where everyone sings, but no heart rejoice
Where everything is gained, without ever any loss
Where seasons remain same, without any change
And never the heart moves, to sing a sad song
Where no Koyal* sings, its melodies in spring
Where no flower fades and always remains the same
Where no one feels tired and no one ever retires
Where no one fails and no one wins
Urveshi's mind felt fed-up with these never ending comforts
Her heart exclaimed in utmost uneasiness and pain
Even these non ending comforts are useless
Without love, loss and gain
Urveshi's decision
She made-up her mind to at least go to earth
To listen the songs of the boatman first
Songs of the boatman, for which she has fought
So much so, with her mind and heart
Lord Indra's reaction
When Indra came to know
The decision of the heart of Urveshi
He was stunned for a moment
As the decision was beyond his imagination
His mind could not conceive
That someone can think like this
And can take such a dooming decision
It was beyond his mind and imagination
That Urveshi can decide to leave the heaven
Which is her most prideful possession
And a place for which every one prays
And waits and waits to find such an abode of
Their hearts longings and wishes
Indra knew that without Urveshi
Even the heaven would loose its luster and shine
As its prime beauty would no longer be inspiring to smile
Or would no longer be dancing
To enjoy the songs of Urveshi
Urveshi's Visit to Earth
While on way to the earth from heaven
Urveshi was still thinking and trying to find a way
How to go close to that boatman's voice
Whose song echoes had already
Captured her mind and heart so tightly
Ravindra to continue….

Yesterday my life was full of sin
I had no peace within yesterday,
Yesterday I had no song to sing
I had no joy within yesterday.
But now the Lord has turned my life around
A new song, a new song I've found
He's given me that joy and peace within
He's taken away yesterdays sin.
He's taken away my sin
He can take away your sin.
Come and hear the song,
The song of the angels,
As the heavens open.
The split of the sky;
The cascading colors.
As the gates close,
Darkness falls over.
The darkness twinkles,
Twinkles with beautiful lights,
Now come hear the song,
The song of the night.
It sings out in a Capella voice.
Sway to the rhythm,
As you succumb to darkness.
The song plays on and on,
Until the morning fires blaze.
The boatman's Song 10/Many
The beauty of that black horse got doubled
With the glittering beauty of the princess on the horse
Who was elegantly riding that black horse beauty
While coming towards the boatman with a speed
He had never seen earlier, when a lady was on a horse
Her shining long black hairs and few locks on her face, were
Blending with the ravishing beauty of her charming face
Which even the sunbeams were trying to penetrate
To kiss her rosy lips and her glowing lovely face
And with each gush of morning beams
A blush came on her lovely face
On which hundreds and thousands can live and die
And can wait for a whole life to see that face
Her body was glittering like a gem
Because of her teenage and beauty excelling her age
And her youth over sprouting from her bosoms
From her princes sly top and riding trousers
She was dazzling the eyes of the boatman
As there was no one else
Who could dare to behold her beauty and grandeur
Which was par excellent, any where on earth
She stepped down from the horse back
With a beautiful sharp jump on the sand
And stood beside the heavenly beautiful horse
She saw the boatman was standing near his boat
And was singing a melody unaware of her gaze
The moment the princess heard that voice
Her heart jumped from her chest
Which had just calmed from thrills
As she had stepped by jumping from the horseback
And her body had calmed only few seconds back
Enchanted and allured by the beauty and heaviness of voice
And totally stunned to see his manliness, so warrior like tight
She forgets her princes sly pride and got lost in adoring
His song and his enchanting voice
Coming from the depths of that singers heart
Suddenly she found herself standing before the boatman
Lost in his heart capturing eyes
There was no one else except these two
And the boatman could not believe
Whether it was a dream or a reality come true
He too was lost in the charms of her eyes
And even forgot to finish the song he was singing
And felt only that someone was penetrating
In his heart and mind, deep some where very deep
Ravindra to continue….

The Boatman's Song 9/Many
After taking some passenger, the boatman moved his boat
And while oaring the boat he started his singing
Tarang felt as if, someone was pouring honey in her ears
While her heart and mind got enchanted by the song of the boatman
It was a rare pleasure for a nymph, to hear such a voice on earth
For a very long time she could not know, how much time passed away
She found the boatman was about to reach the other bank's end
The Boatman was lost in his own world of thoughts
Tarang* thought to find more from his mind
As she was capable to enter in a human minds to know its
Past, present and even future designs
She took a dive deep into his busy mind and
Traced all that she wanted to find, within no time
But to her surprise, there were many things
Totally different than what she was expecting to find
The boatman was a prince in exile, escaped to save his life
From those who were trying to kill him
To rule his fathers kingdom and he was living in disguise
From seeing his body Tarang had felt herself
That this man is not an ordinary Youngman
Having all the qualities of a true warrior like body
But what shocked Tarang was the knowledge
Of the boatman's love affair with a princess
For whom he was looking at those sand dunes
And for her only he used to sing those heart touching songs
Tarang* knew that this truth would be devastating for Urveshi*
Who has come to earth, all along from heaven
As she is deeply in love with this extra ordinary man
Who is so appealingly charming and handsomely bold
In spite of his just crossed teenage, he looks like chief of an army
Only his soldiers appears to be missing or at rest
Such was the real beauty of that boatman
Whose entire life was open before Tarang* like a book
And she could see even his future so bright
But Tarang* was sad to know all that
As her friend Urveshi* was going to affected badly
When she would know that the boatman was
Already in love with a princess of alluring beauty
Boatman's love story
Tarang traced the love story of the boatman
Which began one day, when he was waiting in his boat
For some passengers to come to move the boat
From the river bank side
Suddenly he saw someone coming on a horseback
The riders black horse was shining
In that white sand spread all around, he could see that side
Ravindra to continue….

You're not real deep as rivers go
You're really not that wide
When it comes to my feelings of you
They're feelings I just can't hide
Through giant boulders you descend
Winding through canyon walls
Inside you many have met their end
As rapidly as your water falls
Merle Haggard wrote a song of you
You took someone he loved
His song is very beautiful and true
A gift from God above
At four I stood upon your banks
Watched my mother die
Like those before and after her
So many left to cry
Your pools are pools of death
Calm and still they seem
Whirlpools lurking underneath
The end of many dreams

Radha's Song- A folk Song of India 2/2
This folk song is based on the childhood incidents
of naughty 8-10 years old Krishna, who use to
please everyone of Gukul village, Gokul is the
place where the divine Krishna was brought up
by his foster mother Yashoda.
O, Please tell me, what should I do,
Speak a word, to extinguish my worries,
I cannot live, without seeing,
The alluring face of our naughty Krishna.
O, please tell my friend, how should I manage it,
What plea and excuse dear, I can tell in my home,
How to go back to home, without Gagariya and Chunri,
Even without water, which would create only difficulties for me.
Stunned and mesmerized, by the magic of our Krishna,
I stand here only, in a state of being sweetly robbed,
Instead of searching my Chunri and Gagariya, O Sakhi,
I am trying to touch his alluring image only, in the water.

*Radha. Radha was the childhood friend and was one of the most beloved Gopi of Lord
Krishna. She was the beauty, power and aura create the ethics of love. None of the
scriptures consists of the power to verbalize her beauty, for it is clear enough that when
beauty of Sri Krishna makes several hearts leave their boundaries, her beauty is so
mesmerizing that it makes Him loose consciousness.
*Krishna. Krishna is often depicted as an infant or young boy playing a flute as in the
Bhagavata Purana or as a youthful prince giving direction and guidance as in the Bhagavad
Gita. The stories of Krishna appear across a broad spectrum of Hindu philosophical and
theological traditions.] They portray him in various perspectives: a god-child, a model
lover, a divine hero and the Supreme Being.
*Gagariya. The earthen pot used still in Indian villages to collect water from river, pond
or wells.
* Chunariya. A long strip of cloth to cover the beauty of a woman. It normally hangs on
the bosom to cover them.
Punghat. Is the word used for a place from where water can be collected by village women
of India.
*Sakhi. Hindi word means female friend
Underground French café
Sun has gone astray,
Gone home for the night,
I sit in dim half-light
Seated alone in my booth
Feel calm, distant, aloof
Cool breeze coming from
The creaky door at the front
Live jazz, delicately playing
In the background, I'm swaying
Laid back, to the beat
The hi-hat moves my feet
The snare and the kick
Compel my fingers to click
Index digit taps on my table
Only here is where I'm stable
Amongst all the others
Alone, like me, not bothered
Atmospheric transition,
Here I am free, before in work-prison
Stuck in the daily grind
Working the dreaded nine to five
It tries to steal my mind
Sucks away my precious Jazz time
Misty room; smoky and sensual
My time, Jazz is my cherished jewel
Oozing class, style and flair;
Sophisticated; naturally debonair
That cannot be imitated
Its natural, not replicated
It's Jazz, 'Hmmmm', I relax
I sit back,
Waitress strolls by, I sip my drink,
Feet up, no one cares, at least I think
Sultry singer takes to the stage
I smile and lean back, an audience awaits
Blissful sounds escape her lips
I hear the purest Jazz you could ever wish
I close my eyes, and think of the notes
Hear the song this singer conceived and wrote
The Jazz dream; she unmistakably has captured it,
The song she sings,
Well, you've just read it….
The Jazz Dream….
Culture is beautiful when expressed in the right light
It is the drum we walk to, dance to
Everyday down city corner streets
It is the obstacles we walk through, run through
Everyday common as the passing faces we see
It is the temptation we indulge in, survive in
Everyday it rises
like the sun
and sets over horizons
It is the songs we hum to, succumb to
Everyday on the mornin' radio
constantly setting the mood
givin' that vision to our way of life
Beautiful culture yields to beautiful life
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
A gleaming sunrise is seen in the distance – shedding relief
Bursting forth like fireworks in the dark blue sky
Hues of beauty and sincerity washes away our grief
The cheery clouds come together like lovers embracing one another
I'm never waving goodbye
It's so surreal… and magnificent to see this scene unfold
You lift up the sparkling light… you're an angel from up above
It's so vibrant – the illuminated sight never dulled
You bring us luck and excitement –
You're as pleasant as a dove
We welcome the sun
We welcome the love
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
To omit the darkness
To abolish the distress
To conceal the darkness
And reveal the halo
Hovering around your head
Burning away the dread
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
An ocean of love is rubbing against my feet
Blankets of comfort embrace me now… our love will never dry
You treat us with reverence and I repeat –
You're as pleasant as a dove – taking wing from on high
We welcome the sun in the morning
We welcome the sun with open arms
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
A speedy breeze is whistling in my ears
Spiraling mad like a spinning top
Spiraling mad with all of its might
You're very intriguing – you casted away our fears
Your gorgeous eyes
Project bright green and blue
You're special in His sight
He welcomes you
We welcome the hope
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
To lighten up your load
And lead you to the mercy road
Where you and I will escape to paradise
To drive out all of the negativity
To conceal the wretched farewells
To reveal the light in goodbye
We welcome the sun
We welcome the sun
We welcome you
With open arms
She slept limply beneath a lantern glow
a stitch of frown upon her brow
through her dreams wove a song she did not know
a distant lullaby from long, long ago.
Outside the cold was muffled with snow
that sailed through the night and against the window.
Her sleep gave a sigh that deepened the woe
It rustled the worn blankets that crouched below
The winding song dove and sprinkled the morrow
and behind closed eyelids she smelled the sorrow.
June 18, 2013 our world was Forever Changed
We where a few minutes from home
When we got the call from our baby sister
Said we need to get back home
We need to come as fast as we can drive
Mom really needs us
Something's wrong with Daddy
The whole way we drove 80
Hoping & Praying we'd make it back in time
Our Family & Friends were weeping
By the time we got to his side
We knew then our Daddy had been taking
And our hearts they were breaking
We never got to say Goodbye
We each softly kissed that man
We four sisters climbed in his bed
We laid down beside him
And cried just like babies
For our world was Forever Changed
You've maddened me to the core
You singed me with your ferocious fire
We're opposites… we'll never integrate
We can't blend with each other…
Your love and I'm hate
We're contrary to each other…
So don't even think about
Getting us back together
Because without a doubt,
We don't click with each other…
So let us go our own way…
Everything's black and white
You love to torture me with your deceptive devices
We're playing this chess match – let's fight!
Tonight, you're going to pay the prices
You're going to be deleted from my mind…
I'm not the one that should pay the price
You act as if you're an angel from heaven
But, you're a fiend…a devil from hell...who needs your advice?
Could someone unchain me from this prison?
So let us prepare for that day…
Fear and bewilderment build inside of our minds
Taking over us…we're wasting valuable time
Terror and wrath injects into our veins…time starts to unwind
I'm regaining my glory…this moment feels so sublime
You think you're innocent?
I can sense your guilt…bleeding through you
Do you live to feed me anguish?
Don't deny it…you crafty demon…no wonder I feel blue
Let's get ready for battle…
I'll watch you decay…
Taste my fury and my agony
Everything's black and white
You love to torture me with your deceptive devices
We're playing this chess match – let's fight!
Tonight, you're going to pay the prices
You're going to be defeated…
I scream before nightfall
I close my eyes to kiss my demise
I want to disappear
Scratch away my desolation
Wipe away my tears…
Spewing out of my eyes…like a waterfall
Tonight, there will be dismay
There will be suffering
After sundown…
Failure and glory will expose like stars in the midnight sky
Who will earn the crown?
No one knows in silent wars – who can reveal the light in goodbye
Why are we black and white?
Are you too afraid to know the reason why?
Everything's black and white
You love to torture me with your deceptive devices
We're playing this chess match – let's fight!
Tonight, you're going to pay the prices
You're going to suffer alone…
Look at you, you have found my heart
With love I stare into your eyes
With passion I devise
I can not part with you or can not stop the things I have started
So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone
Look I walk by your side and I found my self crying
With your hands so soft with gentleness
With your smile so beautiful with carefulness
I do notice life with you without sighing
So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone
Without a fear of losing you, you are in my visions
With beautiful roses by your side
I love you more than twelve times
Without doubt I do love you, I care for you and you alone
So do not walk away
Please lets talk about things anyway
With feelings of letting you go is make me ache in the heart
Do not stop believing my passion has fallen apart
So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone
Look I want us to grow old with each other through years of journeys
With hope of sharing life of fulfillment that gives us memories
With this I hope to give all of my faith and I hope it is not to late
I Look into your eyes with such full life because you have been my life date
So I raise my hands to embrace you and you alone
And you alone
So I raise my hands to embrace you
you alone
I might sparkle in the night
but I'm not the only star
you might not see them in the sky
it depends on where you are
Am I the only light in your eyes
that makes you smile when you cry
if your favorite's what you say
don't you blink it might fade away
Only when we give everything
we're truly ready for better things
we invite ourselves off to drift
the steam rises and our spirits lift
Follow me, into sun sets
be brave and strong with no regrets
and when the sea takes the light
we'll find a new day after the night
there's still a new day after the night

I took my new Stoeger Uplander SxS combo [12/20] apart to clean it in preparation for some trap tomorrow, now I cannot get it back together. The barrels are in locked position, but I cannot get the forearm stock on. Also looks like firing pins are in fire position. Can anyone help?
