I don’t care what planet you live on. What continent or country. I don’t care what colour your skin is or your eyes. I don’t care if your hair is long or short. White or black or somewhere in between.
I don’t care if you do alcohol. I don’t care if you sniff cocaine.
If you have a beating heart you are totally lovely. Talk to me.

[b]Like the Rain[/b]

Talk to me like the rain and let me listen.
Let my parch'd being be quench'd by your quiet voice.
My senses fade, last of all my hearing.
Hearing you, the call, “awake to mindfulness,
Even sleeping, bare witness, even to the point of death;
This is the art of life.”
Oh, talk to me till I no longer need.
Talk to me like the rain and let me listen.
I am the soil, the sand and clay
the rotten detritus of dead matter,
the casts of worms.
I am dormant in the darkness, dreaming all illusions.
I am a seed.
Talk to me like the rain. Let me listen.

@LilirWyddfa I visited Wales a few times back when I lived in England.
I loved the beauty of its landscapes, and especially loved the musical accents and friendliness of the people.

@hartfire We do like to sing and all are welcome here. We eat Italian ice cream made by Italians who have come to live here and are Welsh in all but name! And down Cardiff Bay, the people from Yemen. Well if anyone threatened those people all Wales would drop what they're doing and come to protect them. We are very jealous of our immigrant communities. We value their culture and make it part of ours!

@LilirWyddfa That makes me so happy hearing that! One day, I hope I get the chance for a return visit. I love listening to Welsh choirs.

Oh thank you. We are not allowed to sing right now. But I want to sing and dance and bring Halleluyahs to my Lord. My spelling is real bad{ @hartfire

@LilirWyddfa But I shall dance and sing when Cyprus is one.

@hartfire Long have you waited,
Your life nearly gone,
Like a flower cut down,
Until just an inch remains,
Yet slowly, steadily, the life giving water seeps in,
Until one day you blossom,
The most glorious of glorious flowers.

@LilirWyddfa One of the most wonderful things about plants is their ability to regrow stronger after pruning to no more than a stump. You put it beautifully. :)

@hartfire I wrote it as it came into my mind.

@LilirWyddfa I do come and go a bit. I'm in Australia. It's past midnight here. I should be asleep but am still feeling wakeful. How are you?

LilirWyddfa · F

@hartfire I am ok thanks. It's already 13:44 here so must be late in Australia. I love chatting. My teachers say I would do very well in an exam.

@LilirWyddfa What are you studying?

@LilirWyddfa Ah! You're an artist! :)
For twenty years in my youth I was a sculptor.
These days I write.

Do you have a specific style or themes that you prefer to work with? Or are you constantly experimental?

LilirWyddfa · F

I like to create installations of mixed media. Painting as a backdrop, ceramic sculpture and dashes of jewellery. Cloisonné enamelling. @hartfire
