Oren Lavie, "Her Morning Elegance"... among others

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she’s down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And she fights for her life
as she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
as it pours
And she fights for her life
as she goes in a store
with a thought she has caught
by a thread
she pays for the bread
and she goes…
Nobody knows

...

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

it's really catchy and i found it really poetic. sad though, but pretty.

speaking of poetry, real quick.

talking to hibisca going to bed (btw, should be in bed, but having trouble sleeping):

so i was talking to her about her family group, and they were on genesis 1. they were talking about how God was very organized in the way He created the world. i'm looking through the Bible right now just to make sure i get this right.

day 1. God creates light and dark, day and night.
day 2. God creates the sky and the water, heaven and below.
day 3. God creates land, and puts grass, fruits and all that jazz. rabbit food.
day 4. God creates the sun, the moon, the stars. (theme of day 1)
day 5. God creates the fishes and the birds. (theme of day 2)
day 6. God creates the land-lubbers. (theme of day 3)
day 7. God rests.

so the thing hibisca pointed out was that God was very organized in the way he did things. i found it poetic. something about it makes it very artsy and the way it was written (either that or the way hibisca described it) reminded me of a poem for some reason. recurring themes, maybe? i don't know. it reminded me of verses in a song, something to that effect.

additionally, when i read about day 7, it reminds me of patch adams:

"maybe you should have had just a few more brainstorming sessions prior to creation. you rested on the seventh day. maybe you should've spent that day on compassion."

i don't mean any cynicism, it always just pops out at me.

anyway, maybe i'll go to bed now.

g'night.
