I remember they were sitting on the strawberry swing, every moment was so precious, wouldn't wanna change a thing

(such an imaginary photo by Tim Walker)

''...and I know I was wrong,

but I won't let you down,

yeah, I will, yes, I will...

Hmm, some piano music's swinging around my bedroom,

some kind of strange dreams are pretending to sleep inside my head;

I know they're going to wake me up again this night,

however tightly I sleep...

Well, let me introduce myself to you.

I am a magician.

I can give birth to plenty of beautiful things:

using beads,strings,cords and my imagination,

I make jewelleries that speak of fortune.

I can also make flying butterflies out of wire

and dried-flower jam.

But above all,

I can catch stars through my mirror,

using my shadow.

''...and I saw sparks, yeah, I saw sparks...

I saw sparks...

Sing it out... ''

....La la la la la la...''

It' s funny how you can make beautiful, unpredictable and so original things
just by using your hands!Funny, yet so magical.

You only need to trust yourself,your own abilities

and imagination.

Inspiration comes out of million things:

love, friends, memorable events, nature, flowers,

clouds, sun, beautiful artworks, literature, needs, feelings...

Personally, inspiration for me is this insurmountable need of

expressing the most inevitable feelings of mine,

through different ways!

And I love that.

''I'm so high, I can't look back,
I'm waiting for what comes next

You can't live this life for me

But I can't, you have control

I can't last, tonight turns to day

I can't find the words to say

It all stops when kingdom comes

You can't, I hear you walking ''

Oh, torn flowers will always guide me home.

''But I promise you this,

I'll always look out for you,

That's what I'll do... ''

Piano music still swinging, all night long...

... it's raining flowers tonight!

***

I use my stars as lamps,

to light my inspiration...

until its light wears off.

Then, I' ll just need to catch another one,

hoping its light'll last longer...

Ending my black and white post, I'd love to post a few amazing photos I bumped into the past few days:

An amazing David Lynch photograph I immediately fell in love with when I saw it, then a couple of Willy Ronis nudes (I consider nude such a beautiful form of art!) which I loved too. Then, a Billie Holiday portrait which I believe is so stunningly tense! And last but not least, a picture from the 'Strawberry swing' video of Coldplay ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYDwD5X062s&feature=fvw) - I felt so happy watching this video!

Plus, lyrics in italics are 'Sparks' by Coldplay and 'Suddenly' by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Rest ones and the photos are mine.

''People moving all the time

Inside a perfectly straight line

Don't you wanna just curve away?

When it's such…

It's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day''

(Strawberry swing lyrics)

It would only be me the one to wonder whether to say goodnight or not.

It will always be.
