 Sunrise In Galveston by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “I have not always chosen the safest path. I've made my mistakes, plenty of them. I sometimes jump too soon and fail to appreciate the consequences. But I've learned something important along the way: I've learned to heed the call of my heart. I've learned that the safest path is not always the best path and I've learned that the voice of fear is not always to be trusted.” ― Steve Goodier Well it has been a very difficult four months, fiscal year-end, new staff and the beginning of an Audit. Then suddenly, there was a leadership change details of which really do not matter. The thing that is important is that I turned in my resignation yesterday and my last day is on 11/22/2019. Lets say when one wakes and looks for excuses to not go to work there is a problem and this time I addressed it head on. I am proud of myself... that's right! I am okay and did the right thing for me. I am looking for my path again... eyes wide open, with clear vision and heart in hand. I will continue! Richard Clayderman is a brilliant pianist... here is my music for today, enjoy! It is an instrumental; however the words below describe my emotion. Richard Clayderman - Ballade Pour Adeline When you walk through a storm, Hold your head up high, And don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of a storm, There's a golden sky, And a sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Though your dreams be tossed and blown... Walk On! Walk On! With hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone... You'll never walk alone Walk On! Walk On! With hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone... You'll never walk alone Love you my sweetheart... and thinking about you... only you  "Come Close" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Come to me. Why must you ruin this moment? You are burdened with thought. Burdened with the past and expectations of the future. You are burdened with your self. Cast these aside by laughing at yourself. And love, for what more is there than to love me? Take me now and let it be heaven for us.” ― Kamand Kojouri It has been a long time since I wrote anything; however I have thought a lot about life, choices, behavior, responses, regrets, hopes, yesterday and tomorrow. Living in the now is important... I wake up and thank the lord for the new day... and live my day. I have always felt it was safer to think and act this way. If I die well I didn't agonize over the fact of death. The finality of it all. This probably tells you lot about me. Everyday, I start a new page, it may be the same as yesterday's or even tomorrows; however my plans are typically short term if I am to act on them. Yes there are those dreams and hopes but to buy the new car or tires for the old one happens this weeks, not in three months. I have a budgets that helps me plan ahead... but then I am living right now... Risk taker? Big yes and small no. It is a difficult yet easy decision and is strictly based on how much I am loved and the potential for a logical or even positive outcome.... This month, this week today, this afternoon... if not then I will address it tomorrow....This behavior is really about believing in my tomorrow in the hopes that if I get there it will go my way or at least I have a sure footing with people, time, events that I have invested in. Complicate? Hell yes! I have always been at the crossroads of my life... Why? because I am also scare about tomorrow and the choices I make that will affect me emotionally... If I die... well I am dead... who cares... It's the pain in disappointment, loss, love, loneliness that might crush me... So it's hard for me to crossover the road.... To make that decision... The right decision... People who know me, understand this about me and are patiently helping me cross this road.... to the other side. Don't push! I am stubborn... "smile" Here is a song that speaks to this universe. Love Me Anyway P!nk Even if you see my scars Even if I break your heart If we're a million miles apart Do you think you'd walk away? If I get lost in all the noise Even if I lose my voice Flirt with all the other boys What would you say? Could you? Could you? Could you love me anyway? Is it for better or for worse Or am I just your good time girl? Can you still hold me when it hurts Or would you walk away? Even if I scandalize you Cut you down and criticize you Tell a million lies about you What would you say? Could you? Could you? Could you? Could you love me anyway? Could you? (Aw, could you?) Could you? (Could you?) Could you? Could you love me anyway? Could you? Could you? (Could you still love me?) Could you? (Pick up the pieces of me?) Could you? (Could you still love me?)

I can always want you and need you... however I love you just the same. I can't throw it way, expect a different feeling no matter how I am treated... It's love... a simple fact...

Magnolia White by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The initial confrontation of the root is the most critical part of this journey.” ― Bruce Lengeman In Purple Fields We Dance Stay a little longer come closer to my heart Breathe dew breeze on my neck's nape do not yet depart Play for me bagpipe music Blindfold all my starving fears Let the dulcet tones of your voice give us back those harvest years Make of the citrus moon a ballroom Hold me firmly from both hands Lift me high to touch the star-sky Show me how young peasants dance Let my soothing fingers trail across your caloused sun -soaked skin In purple fields Come chase me in that place our souls have been Take me away with you where this world is out of sight Where unspoken thoughts and heartbeats are enough to blaze the night.

"Among the Crowd" By Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow. ” – William Shakespeare I finally found the lyrics That's the Way I Feel About It! Huh, you know life is funny when you look at it Everybody wants love But everybody's afraid of love You know, I'm a true believer If you get anything out of life You got to put up with the toil and strife Ooh You're pushin' my love A little bit too far I don't think you know I don't think you know how blest you are And your friend Annie May tell you all she see Have you, ever thought she was tryin' to get close to me Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over That's the way I feel about 'cha That's the way I feel about 'cha I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind I know you've been hurt and so have many others too But that's the sacrifice that life put you thru Put you thru, put you thru Trust in me, my dear, have no fear You don't know but God might have sent me here, sent me here Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over That's the way I feel about 'cha (Any of us can leave for a long adventure) That's the way I feel about 'cha Don't take my love as a sign of weakness Check into the situation, girl Dig a little deeper Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over That's the way I feel about 'cha That's the way I feel about 'cha Source: LyricFind The Battle I heard the words "I can't love". Is this true? Or were they meant for the world; a whispered clue Tell me, did you hear them too?

"To Only You" #Poetry #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #VanMorrison "What Would I Do Without You"5/3/2019  "Majestic" By Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff.” ― Carl Sagan To Only You I can’t explain it! It’s like running furiously lost time Trying to find that moment that’s passing me by It’s a quiet sadness, only I know to feel As I laugh in days to nights the skin, I peel How can love evoke behavior like this? From agony to seconds knotted in fanciful bliss An energy laden in the flames of unfettered appeal Which is the true secret this soul must reveal To only you, my love is primal, tender and benign Saith I to you seeking moments shared at your side. Diana Mary Sharpton© Copyright 2019 All rights Reserved "What Would I Do" If you leave me, if you grieve me What would I do without you to see me through. If you hurt me, if you desert me What would I do, without you, to see me through. What would I do Tell me I wanna know Who would I see What would I know. Well I'm crazy about my baby What would I do without you, to see me through. What would I do Tell me I wanna know Who would I see Where would I go. Well I'm crazy about my baby What would I do without you, to see me through. References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/vanmorrison/whatwouldido.html Life becomes winter without you.... I love you Sugar be my spring...  "Canary Yellow" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.” ― Mandy Hale Can't seem to get this song out of my head, I heard it on the way home last Friday. I plan on retiring soon... or let's say not soon enough. Waiting for my paperwork to show-up. We all go through times that are hard, easy and happy. God bless me to make it to that happy point... even though it may be hard. The below poem is an internal struggle, I went through a few years ago. The good news is that this battle has become less and less each day. Isn't that something! I recently moved to a small one bedroom and my children stayed in my old apartment. The complex did us a solid and painted both units and laid new carpet. I just love both apartments. The amazing things is that the battle my son and I were in has vanished. He loves me now! I am blessed... yes indeed. I love the color of cobalt blue; however I am going to add to this list candy apple red, jet black, soft grey and canary yellow with the brilliance of them all dancing in my new apartment for me to enjoy every minute of the day. Yes, I can now walk around in my skin, wash clothes when I want, make noise, food lasts a week, no dishes in the sink and there are quiet moments when needed... This move has been an amazing lift to my outlook and mood. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and miss them, but they needed for me to move out...lol! Flock of Loons by Diana Mary Sharpton Churning thoughts drift as insignificant balloons, Springing upward into flight, As a flock of sultry loons Suddenly! Ear-piercing, there’s a CLASH, Breaking tranquility, A complete sound botch, As birds airlift from the distant loch Reminiscence, it’s all so pristine, As a fresh dewy morning, Crisp, green and serene Yes, I crossed the traverse today, And faced a demon or two, along my way, There’s no hiding from time, It slams the soul in discomfort, Slowly crawling up between nerve and spine One thing doesn’t change, It’s life’s impression, Washing down my face, Dictating pace, And clocking my next sensation or taste I looked in the mirror, today Bewildered, I would say Instead of me, I saw you Wondering who it was looking so cool I knew you but you looked through me, Seeing nothing relevant, Just a vastness, encompassing the deep blue sea, The difference felt little frightening too! An awkwardness, see, Because, I had found consolation without your soul in me What would I do? To merge the two! NOW and THEN, Split apart by sadness, loss, denial, revenge and sin, It’s just NOW, so I opened the reflection and let you in, Touched by this commotion, You reconciled to NOW and I to THEN © Copyright by Diana Mary Sharpton 2013-2019 "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" (from "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" soundtrack) Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore It's gettin' dark, too dark to see I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them anymore That long black cloud is comin' down I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door References: Lyrics https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bobdylan/knockinonheavensdoor.html Sugar you have touched my soul, my heart and my mind...

"Shining In The Rain" #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #MumfordandSons #Forever #LovingU12/25/2018  "Shining In the Rain" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Music is a language, listen to it with your heart then read the words with your eyes and open your soul to it's communication: “Where words fail, music speaks.” ― Hans Christian Andersen "Forever" I know I've had you troubled And I know I've seared your mind But you know that I love you And that our love's not blind And sure, my dreams lie with you But I've many more besides And if I can't see them through Our love will slowly die So if you doubt for the time that you're spending And if you doubt for the love in your heart Think of London and the girl you're returning And the days you defend will turn to gold So love with your eyes Love with your mind Love with your Dare I stay forever Do it for yourself Do it for the girl Do it for your Dare I stay forever And I've known pious women Who have led such secret lives Shameless in the dark So shameful in the light And you may not be pious And I may not be saved But we could live quite happily And quietly unfazed So if you doubt for the time that you're spending And if you doubt for the love in your heart Think of London and the girl you're returning And the days you defend will turn to gold So love with your eyes Love with your mind Love with your Dare I stay forever Do it for yourself Do it for the girl Do it for your Dare I stay forever I was dreaming of the Liffey I was thinking of the Thames And now the East river flows by to the same end Are we too sentimental to not look back and stare So love with your eyes Love with your mind Love with your Dare I stay forever Do it for yourself Do it for the girl Do it for your Dare I stay forever References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mumfordsons/forever.html The girl is a woman that loves you... Are you the man of her dreams? Only you can say... Because her heart is set.  "In A Basin" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away and all the things I want to say can find no voice. Then in silence, I can only hope my eyes will speak my heart. ~ Robert Sexton "For Love On Christmas Day" Wrote myself a letter, I told myself a lie That you'll be coming home soon and then your name I sigh I read it every morning since you went away I'm living in a dream world and dying a little more each day Wrote myself a love song, believing every word Saying that you love me in melodies unheard That you'll be coming back soon and forever you will stay I'm living in a dream world and dying a little more each day Snow is on the sidewalk, it's cold inside my heart I look up and I wonder, have I lost my guiding star And everything is white outside, how can it be so dark? Say a prayer and thank God that your love is mine alone And never be another who could grace our happy home Pray on Christmas morning that this time you will stay But I'm living in a dream world and dying a little more each day Yes, I'm dying For love on Christmas day references: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ericclapton/forloveonchristmasday.html Loving this song on a Sunday... and dreaming about you
 "Looking Up" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Come to me. Why must you ruin this moment? You are burdened with thought. Burdened with the past and expectations of the future. You are burdened with your self. Cast these aside by laughing at yourself. And love, for what more is there than to love me? Take me now and let it be heaven for us.” ― Kamand Kojouri "Let It Be Me" There comes a time—a time in everyone's life Where nothing seems to go your way Where nothing seems to turn out right There may come a time You just can't seem to find your place For every door you open Seems like you get two slammed in your face That's when you need someone Someone that you—you can call When all your faith is gone It feels like you can't go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend that you need Let it be me Let it be me Feels like you're always coming up last Pockets full of nothing, ain't got no cash No matter where you turn, you ain't got no place to stand You reach out for something and they slap your hand I remember all too well Just how it feels to be all alone You feel like you'd give anything For just a little place you can call your own That's when you need someone Someone that you—you can call When all your faith is gone It feels like you can't go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me Miss you... "Trinity Sunset" #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ Diana Krall "Wide River To Cross"#LoveOfMyLife9/14/2018
 "Trinity Sunset" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "Not from the whole wide world I choose thee, Sweetheart, light of the land and the sea! The wide, wide world could not enclose thee, For thou art the whole wide world to me." - R. W. Gilder Talk To Me by Suzanne Hayasaki Sit with me in the shade of this tree. Tell me who you were, who you are, And who it is you wish to be. Talk to me of days gone by and days to come. Talk to me of warm mornings, cool evenings, And cold nights, writing by candlelight. Tell me of the epic that will not come. Tell me of the love poems that continue to flow, Unread, unpublished, unappreciated, Unseen by the eyes that inspire them. Tell me of your ambitions, your wishes, Your vision of what you could be If someone would take the time to read The words you put to paper so passionately. Recite and I will listen. Hypnotize me with your rhymes. Lull me with the rhythms of your speech. Create a complete world with your words And let your voice lead us both Where you want us to go. The epic is an oral tradition. Poetry is meant to be heard not read. Don’t look for your story in the structure. Don’t expect to work magic if you are counting feet. Just be. Just speak. Just believe That within you is beauty And release it. "Wide River To Cross" There's a sound in the wind, blowing down the road I've been I can hear it cry while shadows steal the Sun But I can not look back now, come too far to turn around And there's still a race ahead, I must run I'm only half way home I got a journey on, Where I'll find the things I have lost I've come a long, long road Still I've got miles to go I've got a wide, wide river to cross I have stumbled, I have strayed You can trace the tracks I've made All across the memories, why aren't we gone But I'm just a refugee, won't you sing a prayer for me Cause sometimes even the strongest soldiers falls I'm only half way home I got a journey on, Where I'll find the things I have lost I've come a long, long road Still I've got miles to go I've got a wide, wide river to cross I've got a wide, wide river to cross I've got a wide, wide river to cross References: Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dianakrall/widerivertocross.html Video: Diana Krall - Published on Sep 11, 2012 Personal Note: To the man I love, I want you morning, noon and night. I think of you always, every minute of the day. What are you doing today? How did you feel? Did you laugh and think about me? Did you take long steps or sit down? Did you get angry and shrugged it off? Dance with this gal my darling. The journey is not over yet. It's you that bring the sun to my rainy days and without you I am lost. Consistency spells affection. Affection is the response to my emotion, I have for you. You are the love of my life. Diana  "Electricity" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "I live for sex. I celebrate it, and relish the electricity of it, with every fiber of my being. I can see no better reason for being alive.” ― Fiona Thrust, "Kiss You All Over" When I get home, babe Gonna light your fire All day I've been thinkin' about you, babe You're my one desire Gonna wrap my arms around you Hold you close to me Oh, babe I wanna taste your lips I wanna fill your fantasy, yeah I don't know what I'd do without you, babe Don't know where I'd be You're not just another lover No, you're everything to me Ev'rytime I'm with you, baby I can't believe it's true When you're layin' in my arms We do the things you do You can see it in my eyes I can feel it in your touch You don't have to say a thing Just let me show how much Love you, need you, yeah I wanna kiss you all over And over again I wanna kiss you all over Till the night closes in Till the night closes in Stay with me, lay with me Holding me, loving me, baby Here with me, near with me Feeling you close to me, baby So show me, show me ev'rything you do 'Cause baby no one does it quite like you Love you, need you Oh, babe I wanna kiss you all over And over again I wanna kiss you all over Till the night closes in Till the night closes in Till the night closes in Till the night closes in Till the night closes in References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/exile/kissyouallover.html Hungry with desire for you baby.... |

Diana Mary Sharpton“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” Categories
