Sunlit days at Hogwarts

Partly inspired by this moving choral piece, A Boy and a Girl, by Eric Whitacre.

Lyrics:

Stretched out on the grass,

A boy and a girl.

Savoring their oranges,

Giving their kisses like waves exchanging foam.

Stretched out on the beach,

A boy and a girl.

Savoring their limes,

Giving their kisses like clouds exchanging foam.

Stretched out underground,

A boy and a girl.

Saying nothing, never kissing,

Giving silence for silence.

More writing in my book :)

Alone in her darkness she cries herself to sleep her soft brown eyes lost in sorrow the morning sun no longer shines the nights dark and lonely will she never see I weep for her as well

Smell the Roses (I'm Alive)

All you ever loved will leave everything you hold will go I don’t mean to frighten you I just thought you ought to know All you see here is temporary the brightest moments fade away It makes no sense to put it off why not live your life today Yesterday is gone forever tomorrow may not ever arrive Take time today to smell the roses tell your mirror, I’m alive Give everyone you meet a smile be a lover and be a friend Take a chance, dare to care don’t waste today, for it will end My crystal ball is badly broken I cannot say what lies in store But this day we have time to love today is life, don’t wait for more

Eivør - Í Tokuni (x)

[choralcomposer]

I bet you don't think someone would ever

Write about you

To strangers

.

I don't know if I will ever tell him

But beneth these wide shoulders

His tough shell

I only see just his warm smile

.

I wonder how often you were told

That your smile is beautiful
