Had an awful week but managed to survive thx to a very special lady and gentleman on Anxiety UK, u know who you are, this special song for u

[rouri]

Bows and flows of angel hair

And ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere

I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun

They rain and snow on everyone

So many things I would have done

But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It's cloud illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels

The dizzy dancing way you feel

As every fairy tale comes real

I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show

You leave 'em laughing when you go

And if you care, don't let them know

Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now

From give and take, and still somehow

It's love's illusions I recall

I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud

To say "I love you" right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I've looked at life that way

Oh but now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads, they say I've changed

Well something's lost but something's gained

In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now

From WIN and LOSE and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all

What a really lovely poem. Sums it all up, doesn't it? "Well somethings lost but something's gained". This is the line that stands out for me. But every line will mean something to someone. We lose ourselves in this illness, but who wants the old self. We gain a new self if we look at it the right way. It was the old self that got us into trouble, the new self can get us out. Thank you so much, rouri, a really beautiful start to the day. jonathan.
