Comforting To Know
(Carly Simon)
When the heart of the hundred acre wood is beating
And time is passing through
There's a shadow looking like a rainbows halo
And there I'm resembling you
More than fame
A name on a tree
More than power or might
Sweeter than the treats of a honey bee
I'll be here through the night
It's comforting to know
It's comforting to know
Silent as the moon at dawn
Soothing as a bed filled with hay
Strong as a hero in the land of old
I'll be here through the day
It's comforting to know
It's comforting to know
Greyer than gloom on a rainy afternoon
Sadder than being sorry for me
Finer than finding my tail again
I'll be here for all of thee
It's comforting to know
It's comforting to know
You only get a few good friends in this life
Who are devoted and true
And right here in this now and near
It's clear that it's all of you
I'll find you when you're hard to see
I'll look for you everywhere
You'll know just how I'm feeling when
I show you that I care
It's comforting to know
It's so comforting to know

Long Shadows Grow
Here I sit alone
with only ghosts from the past
to keep me company.
Memories of those
who I will never see again.
I sit and tell them
all my ills and woes;
it’s comforting in the silence
as the long shadows grow.
I tell them how my life has changed
since they went away
and that I hope to see them again
when it is my time to go.
They don’t answer me
like they used to do,
still it is comforting
as the hours pass on their way.
Just sitting here chatting
like I used to do
late into the evening tide
as the long shadows grow.

The Fear__
I want the fear,
because it's comforting.
I need the fear,
because it doesn't need me.
I love the fear,
because it hates me.
I stay with the fear,
because it leaves me.
I captured the fear,
because it escaped me.
I feed the fear,
because it make me.
The fear controls us,
the fear is our weakness.
the fear is a sanctuary,
the fear is hell.
I want the fear,
because it's comforting.
I need the fear,
because it doesn't need me.

Glimpse
Tell me what you need to hear and Ill tell it to you again
I can fake it all if you can too
Will it stop from bleeding naturally enough
Can I hold my tongue in silent the words are slow and repeating
I know you why dont you take what you need and then go away
I know you why dont you take what you need
Die to get another glimpse in
So Ill watch the water rinse
Until we all get washed away
I never needed someone comforting me
I dont think I told you how I feel tonight
You perfect little angel your beautiful even now
I know you why dont you take what you need and go away
I know you why dont you take what you need
Die to get another glimpse
So Ill watch the water rinse
Until we all get washed away
I never needed someone comforting me
Down I go

Early Prose: About Nature - A Waterfall
Nature's wilderness has its characteristics which are its constituents. Never before had I seen such a splendid sight of grace and beauty as a waterfall. Life was being given to the green flowing lush vegetation on either side of a glittering strip of fluid motion moving down the land like a snake through grass. How enchanting the sight was and oh how comforting. So comforting because it was a relief to know that something cared for the young and insecure on which they were dependent. The sounds that came from the scene reminded me of the nurturing and caressing tunes that a mother makes when feeding her young. I must say that I was deeply overwhelmed by the associations which evolved in my mind witnessing this spectacle. Nature has supported Man over the years, therefore Man should show gratitude by caring for the environment in which he lives - Nature. Oh! if only people could understand and endeavour to achieve this ideal.

If I Could Be There
(kieran kane/jamie ohara)
If I could be there Id be there tonight comforting you
This road Im on is so far away
Too far away
If God would grant me wings to fly
Id be in your arms by and by
If I could be there Id be there tonight comforting you
If I could be there Id look in your eyes and say I love you
These hills and highways between us now keep us apart
If God would grant me wings to fly
Id be in your arms by and by
If I could be there Id look in your eyes and say I love you
If I could be there I wouldnt have this pain in my heart
Tomorrow Ill wake up with joy for the day
Joy for the day
If God would grant me wings to fly
Id be in your arms by and by
If I could be there I wouldnt have this pain in my heart
If I could be there

Falling Short Of Directions....
the road to patience is long and winding
say it over and over again
sometimes it leads us nowhere
there are dead ends
of our hoping
(and what shall
you do? you weep
alone and keep on talking
to yourself?)
you get feed up with lots of
my comforting
words, the poems, the chat,
and the
directions on what to do next
where to go,
they do not comfort you at all
all these long distance affections
but there is something that must comfort you
more, and make you perhaps
understand what this world is all about
everyone is lost
all hands are groping in the dark feeling only walls and walls
there is no light yet
the sound of rushing water deafens us
there are rocks higher than life
existing more than our
lifetime
always there
dead and cold and dark
there are traces in the sands
of some footsteps erased by the wind
not fossils
that still tell us what really happened
there is this comforting joy
we all are
and that makes us all
lost tribes, silenced by death
hoping not to be ever thrown again
like seeds that begin anew
on the first sprout
of another misery
handed from
bud to bud....

I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.
Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a comforting thought for those people who can't remember where they leave things.
