“Shalimar”….

~~ These are the lyrics to a song I composed on guitar, with my voice, in

1998… I saw this photo in a National Geographic magazine, and the look

in her eyes made me think insightfully, about how I myself was feeling at

the time….

~*~*~“Shalimar…. I saw you drifting through the woodlands,

in the frosted air ~ silently burning….

~~ You comprehend the true mystery of the human race ~

but where is your home base…. Even the trees can feel

your deep grace….

“Shalimar….Ooh-ooh, I see the sparkle in your midnight eyes ~

It reflects every moontide, and every sunrise….

Sometimes the greatest beauty, blooms from the darkness….

“Shalimar….You show people the sweetest things, even while

you’re hurting….Yes, I know….Sometimes pure glory can grow

out of sorrow….

“Shalimar….Ooh-ooh….I see the sparkle in your midnight eyes….

It reflects every moontide, and every sunrise….

Sometimes the greatest beauty blooms from the darkness….

Even the freest bird, needs a resting place….” ~*~*~
