Disclaimer: The picture I was going to post here is not going to be posted. It's from 1992, I wear a short black dress with long black gloves, my hair is curly and blonde, and I have this special look I have never been able to achieve since. Maybe it was because I couldn't afford to, or wanted to project a different image, but once in a blue moon, every woman needs to look this way. Gorgeous. Mind-blowing.
I will look gorgeous, one last time.

Some more free association, or songs coming true.
Surrounded
[Images: Dream Theater]
[Words: Moore]
Morning comes too early
and nighttime falls too late
And sometimes all I want to do
is wait
The shadow I've been hiding in
has fled from me today
I know it's easier to walk away
than look it in the eye
But I will raise a shelter to the sky
and here beneath this
star tonight I'll lie
She will slowly yield the light
As I awaken from the longest
night
Dreams are shaking
Set sirens waking up tired eyes
With the light the memories
all rush into his head
By a candle stands a mirror
Of his heart and soul she
dances
She was dancing thru the night
above his bed
And walking to the window
he throws the shutters out
against the wall
And from an ivory tower hears
her call
"Let light surround you"
It's been a long, long time
He's had a while to think it over
In the end he only sees the
change
Light to dark
Dark to light
Light to dark
Dark to light
Heaven must be more than this
When angels waken with a kiss
Sacred hearts won't take the
pain
But mine will never be the same
He stands before the window
His shadow slowly fading from
the wall
And from an ivory tower hears
her call
"Let the light surround you"
Once lost but I was found
When I heard the stained glass
shatter all around me
I sent the spirits tumbling
down the hill
But I will hold this one on high
above me still
She whispers words to clear my mind
I once could see but now at last
I'm blind
I know it's easier to walk away
than look it in the eye
But I had given all that
I could take
And now I've only habits left
to break
Tonight I'll still be lying here
Surrounded in all the light
This album, released - incidentally - in 1992, is part of my project to find all the music I once had on cassette tapes. It's going to be a lengthy project;)

Nothing can overshadow the beauty of youth...
Once we were young and beautiful, now only beautiful, to quote the words of the wise:P
Oooh never feel sorry for times bygone.
You are a better person now.
That's because, by definition, you become a better person every day. More interesting, more complicated, more varied. (Yes, ogres can have layers ;) )
Old age has not yet come to cast a shadow over our minds and reason.
Enjoy the richness of your personality :)
Old age may, or may not, cast a shadow over our minds. Some old people emanate wisdom and even look great, because they glow inside, though they've lost the brilliance of youthful appearance.
My lamentation is for the days I lived as an old person though I was young, also for the present day I'm living as an old person, never taking advantage of what little glamour is left of my looks. You remember Pterry's Agnes who had a 'wonderful personality'?;) Thanks, but no thanks.
On a more positive note, I really, really think I look better than 15 years ago, at least because my hair is no longer curly, thank God:D
