sequoia.

giants.

sequoia national park.

sequoia kings canyon

viva freemont street.

If I had hair like this chap I met, I'd dye it pink too. nice fella.

what now?

what now? my love?

the pain and the roots,

or the sky and the frost.

to lay here now. wondering always...

and to bring home carefully the dream of venus.

like an orchid crushed under the hooves of pigs.

or a child who is lost and wonders how long and why.

the blood and the gold mix angrily until the sky tears into pieces...

that night remains forever etched on my mind.

a granite movie of silent shock.

the pirate in me happy and jealous but patient 'till your return.

did you know you left these things behind?

four children.

the paintings.

a dark wooden altar.

and the wine and the bread and the shoes you made...

sven.

hey mom.

hey moms, happy mother's day.

horse heaven hills.

and all the things I left unsaid.
like all the broken glass left in horse heaven hills.
or the pail I left next to the fountains.
and all that I left in it.
you remind me of him...
and too many people who speak needlessly.
and too many nights. without sleeping ever.
or trees that simply die.
like birds that forget how to fly
because they stop to dream.
sven.

roll on forever.

the sea.

were you ever here? 

a breeze blew strong all day.

the air smelled like perfume.

the sky looked like melon.

sven.

silver dreams.

lost now forever.
she brings with the night a rose...
how soon nobody knows,
who's story remains.
sven.

diamond hearts.

there is no more pain from this diamond heart.

the season was winter.

as she turns to the window it begins to rain.

sven.

nederland 1.

now you know what it's like out here.

how long have you lived here?

what do you mean? 

the show must go on.

sven.

may day late happy.

they were away so long.

the time we spent on the coast.

the ocean breezes, the sunsets.

more beauty then we could bare.

...to bring all this here.

sven.
