If possible even more interesting with the dramatic sky well done!

great ball of fire, just don't roll off the tongue, as the plural version of the song

In a dream I see steps to the flame orange skies
The sun is eclipsed, and the shadow bird flies!
Is it angel or myth, with its silhouette wings?
Must I climb to the heavens to hear if it sings?

"Yes" to your questions, my dear.
You've climbed from your cellar of fear.
The sun points the way.
It's sunset, I say,
And that means you'll shift to high gear.

Dear Sir I shall follow these wisdoms you teach
Yet what if the blessed song's nought but a screech?
I'll be halfway to heaven yet feeling quite dull
For my mythical angelbird might be a gull




I shall fall down to earth and return to the dark
No sunlight to waken my bright shining spark
The steps will lead downward and into the gloom
I'll sing strange rhyming songs to The Seagull of Doom



'And what's wrong with gulls?' says a voice in disguise
Why can't they be angels in flame orange skies?
So please follow the steps in the luminous gleam
Ascend to the heavens, awaken your dream!'

Hurrah for seagulls!

verse ? brain thinking (don't worryit don't hurt)

Does Jonathan Livingston see gulls?

post 9

I climbed a stairway to heaven,
not knowing where it went,
for hours and hours I climbed,
I thought it was time well spent!
Until I realised, I was climbing up, a down escalator.

Does the down for an escalator come from a duck?

Love it.

An escalator made of down. Very feathery. Kind of interesting, standing on moving steps made of feathers.



I'm crying? No, I'm wah-smileying.

Moving steps. A very moving tale.

To wah-smiley. A type of emotion, originating on h2g2 but now used in mainstream literature. Well, it might be. One day. Perhaps not.

She got upset and wah-smileyed until he brought her flowers and a plate of chips. Then she ate the flowers and put the chips in a vase.

Off topic??? Me???? Never.



I love Jonathan Livingstone Seagull. I do so. Particularly the Neil Diamond soundtrack.

Well, someone has to admit it.

Perhaps its because I have the DVD of Neil singing the soundtrack live on stage in Australia, sometime long ago, wearing extremely tight leather trousers and a yellow silk shirt.

Apparently no woman can resist Neil Diamond. Or charismatic loner seagulls.

Off topic! Objection yer honour! And extreme generalisations. Further objections yer honour.

Is this the stairway to heaven ?

Dunno ? I haven't reached the end yet, but it's gonna be one HELL of a trip if your going in the wrong direction eh!

Whatever your taste in music this! will always be a classic!

That's a nice song.

It has a nice folk vibe. It's a song I've often heard about, but this may be he first time I've heard the song itself.

some of the led Zeppelin tracks are

I have the song in my Led Zeppelin CD, so I've heard it at least four times, but don't remember the tune.

It's the Post summer album them. With cover art by FWR>
