Hi,

Timed out. "The Window" has these words: "The spear of the age in your side."
John 19:34 is the applicable verse.

Not too difficult, one could think. - One would be wrong. :-)

Hi Hartmut,

Questions that seem to be relatively easy, sometimes turn out to be otherwise. :)

Hi Hartmut,

Your post brought to mind L.C.'s "Summer-Haiku" and the songs "Ballad Of The Absent Mare" and
"The Night Comes On." All three contain cricket references. :) Not that anyone asked. Just
an opportunity, though, to bring renewed attention to "Summer-Haiku." This succinct poem
reveals the sensitivity of L.C.'s auditory awareness and his exemplary capacity to convey it.

Hi everyone :D

I haven’t posted for some months on the forum and have noticed that this will be my 6000th post! How quickly time goes by! I Have to say that I miss interacting with everyone. Definitely with the PG and especially during those halcyon days of the concerts. But life is full of various phases in all their forms and we just have to go with the flow. Now here's a question and I hope you have an answer :)

See if you can identify this title using these two extra words as clues - metamorphosis and final.

Thanks, Steven. I don't think I knew that poem.

For the curious and lazy:

I know the terms "halcyon days" and "concerts". But what is "PG"?

Thanks Hartmut! So nice to hear from you Roman :D
It is to do with change but not that song. The part I'm referring to is related as a total transformation.
B4real wrote:.....various phases in all their forms
This one is a little different ;-)

Here's a few more clues:
Ruminative relations and at the moment being the very last.
Pondering positions and currently being the conclusive end.
Periodic perception and presently being the absolute last.

Oh, I see ... I think. You're maybe talking about the "Stages" of a man - from irresistible to cute.

hehe! Hartmut that's it!
You start off irresistible
And the you become resistible
Then you become transparent
Not exactly invisible but as if you’re seen
Through old plastic
And then you actually do become invisible
And then, and this is the most amazing transformation
You become repulsive
But that not, that’s not the end of the story
After repulsive you become cute
And that’s where I am
(he sure is ;-) ) ....and it's the final "song" on the current last album but not for too much longer I reckon :)

Over to you now.
