TimeLord

And the rain makes a sound like the asteroids
There are worlds made of ice in the clouds
I'm receiving transmissions they broadcast long ago
They remind me of things I have seen
All the people and cities and crowds

And the rain is so strange in the Milky Whey
I see cloudscapes of purple and green
Candleabras are shooting off firework displays
And I'm writing the things I have seen
People shopping and sparks from a train

Spacewalk

"It's a beautiful day..."

Lighthouse Keepers

There's a lighthouse on the upper side of this blog. It was chosen on purpose. This blog as much as anyone's blog - opinion - way of lifestyle is a lighthouse. Some are remote, weathered, sea battered, others are well preserved but they're all beautiful in the eye of the beholder. The content of these 'lullabies' is a blurred mix of cultures and represent a context within a context. Pretentious as they may be, they sprung out of - what I thought it was - a dying lifestyle, and set to be a beacon of life as seen from a rooftop in the heart of the city. Reading other people's blogs and freepress newspapers I discovered there is an ever growing amount of 'Lighthouse Keepers'; rooftop observers of a wrestless city. People looking down, feeling a vibe and in love with the chaotic urban landscape down below. From the kids practicing parcourt in shopping malls, to bohemian wannabe writers, failed actors and lonely employees there's a world goin' on up above...
