And the woman may be awestruck
And the woman may truly care
But the woman is so tired
So the woman disappears
Come in out of the darkness
Bella Donna my soul
Don’t change, baby please don’t change
from the album, Bella Donna by Stevie Nicks, 1980
red books hiding in a hand painted pot
old lanterns resting in a crumbling bird bath
pink columbine shaking in a summer storm
Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on,
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
from the song Delta Dawn, written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey, 1971
ferns quietly unfurling,
fallen petals and tiny sleeping fawns,
shadows on rocks and on thoughts
one person’s weeds,
are another person’s flowers
Sometimes when the cuckoo’s crying
When the moon is halfway down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out and I wander around…
from the song Sugar Magnolia, 1970, written by Robert Hunter and Bob Weir, performed by Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead
tulips and roses and hot pink carnations,
books and puzzles and jars of fig honey,
gnomes and unicorns and blue lava lamps
