Glory Box

I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
 Gonna give my heart away
 Leave it to the other girls to play
 For I've been a temptress too long

Just...

Give me a reason to love you
 Give me a reason to be a woman
 I just wanna be a woman

From this time, unchained
 We're all looking at a different picture
 Through this new frame of mind
 A thousand flowers could bloom
 Move over and give us some room

Give me a reason to love you
 Give me a reason to be a woman
 I just wanna be a woman

So don't you stop being a man
 Just take a little look from outside when you can
 Show a little tenderness
 No matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you
 Give me a reason to be a woman
 It's all I wanna be is all woman

For this is the beginning of forever and ever

It's time to move over...

When Friends Meet: The Most Alive Moment

The most living moment comes when
those who love each other meet each

other’s eyes and in what flows
between them then. To see your face

in a crowd of others, or alone on a
frightening street, I weep for that.

Our tears improve the earth. The
time you scolded me, your gratitude,

your laughing, always your qualities
increase the soul. Seeing you is a

wine that does not muddle or numb.
We sit inside the cypress shadow

where amazement and clear thought
twine their slow growth into us.

By Rumi
