the spider, the frog and the butterfly, part 2


As noon was aproaching, Ziggy decided to take a nap in his coconut crib while Froggy remained on the small patch of artifficial grass, under the branches of the plastic tree. No matter how good intended Ziggy proved to be, he keeped pondering what if it's all a game?

  He then thought he heard something, looked around, didn't see anything but just after a few moments he heard it again:

"Pssst..."

He looked left, looked right, didn't see a thing.

"Up here in the tree... " said a strange voice.

So he looked up and saw something that he had never seen before, it was green with red spots, and had a long body which seemed to be made of several rings welded together, each ring having a pair of legs. When it was moving, the last ring would rise and as it was coming down, the next one would rise and so on untill the first one, making it look like a wave, which appeared kind of funny to Froggy. And with a smile on his face he asked:

"Who are you?"

As it was coming down the tree-trunk, said: 

" My name is Khaty and i'm a caterpillar... for now, but that will change soon. "

" Hi, i'm Froggy... why will it change? "

"Nice to meet you Froggy... Why? Because that's the way life is, things will never stay the same, although most of the times we expect them to do so. And the sad thing is that we are to affraid to accept changes, despite of how bad our situation is we always think that a change can only make it worse, but in fact we have to realise that if we want to change we have to suffer for a while and that's what most of us are backing down from... why should i suffer even more than i am now, i'm not really happy, but why should i suffer? i could be comfortable just the way i am. But there can never be a real redemption without sacrifice. "

  Froggy was so mesmerised by Kathy's words that his eyes became almost twice the size they were.

 "I'm sorry for being so ... philosophically all of a sudden, i tend to that sometimes, it's in my nature i guess"

"Oooh, that's ok, it was really interesting... hmm.. by the way... what do you think about Ziggy?"

"Well that's actually the reason i wanted to talk to you... You should be very carefully, although he looks friendly he can be very deceiving. His sweet word can make you feel comfortable, but that's actually what he wants you to do, to make you trust him so he can use you later."

"Use me for what?"

"Silly you... for his dinner of course."

"But... but he said he is a vegetarian..."

"Ha ha.. and you believed him, dear friend... never ever trust a spider... What do you thing his fangs are for?"

"Well... he said they were for tearing up the leaves from branches..."

"What branches, what leaves? All you see here is not real, it's all an illusion"

"But it looks real..."

"It does, doesn't it? ... but trust me it's not... This is what i eat, before i change... but all you see here it's inedible, it's all part of a bigger plan"

"What plan, who's plan?"

"That my dear, i'm affraid i don't know... "

"But... how did we get here...? All i remeber is that i was standing in a puddle of mud under a dump of scraps, when something grabbed me, it was so fast i coudn't react... I didn't even got the chance say good-bye to my sister and my mom. And then i woke up here..."

"Well... that's kind of the same way i got here. I was minding my on business, hanging out with my friend, we were ment to get married, after we would change in butterflys. So we were eating those delicios apple tree leaves when just as you said something grabbed me and while Alex was trying to help me, he was also grabbed and thrown away... I miss him so much... His last words were - don't be affraid, i'll come for you. "

"Oo.. i'm sorry... so.. you think he'll find you?"

"I don't know, i can only hope.. "

"You said something about a butterfly, what's that?"

"That's what we caterpillars turn into after the pupa stage. Now we are very vulnerable and ugly..."

"Noo... i don't think you're ugly..."

"Ooo... that's very sweet of you, thank you... and after the pupa stage we become into some of the most beatiful creatures in this world."

"Wow... i really want to see you become a butterfly..."

"Well. my dear, i'm affraid that doesn't depend on me, you see it takes me up to eleven days, starting from today... and with that demon over there, i don't know if we'll make it."

"There must be something we can do..."

"Hmm... there could be... do you see that wooden brigde over there?"

"Yes.."

"Well... you should try to stay out of Ziggy's way, get up on that bridge, i never saw him going there, i don't know why, he just doesn't go there..."

"And what about you?"

"Oo.. don't worry about me, i will stay up in this tree, he won't be able to get me here, you just try to stay out of his way for eleven days and after that i'll think of a way to save us, ok?"

"Ok... "

"Well i'm going up in the tree again to prepare for the worst part of my life."

"Why would you say that?"

"You already forgot what i've told you in the begining... it takes sacrifice for changes to happen. "

"Oohh... i see... well ... good luck to you."

"Good luck to you too, my dear, see you in eleven days"

Yeah, see you ... in eleven days, if i don't get eaten... said Froggy to himself with a whispering voice... Well.. let's see... what to do... i should be getting on that stupid bridge...

the spider, the frog and the butterfly, part 1

 

Once there was a spider named Ziggy, who lived in his terrarium. He had a lovely home, warm and cozy and all the food he wanted. After a while he started feeling lonely. One morning he woke up feeling thirsty, got out of his coconot shell and went to the pool for a few drops of water. He was surprised to see that in the pool was this strange cute little green creature with sparkling eyes. But as soon as it has seen him it jumped out of the pool and just before it was preparing for it's next jump, Ziggy said: "stop... " The long green arched leggs of the creature relaxed, while his head turned to where he heard the voice, and as he was looking into the spider's black pearled eyes a cold tremble rushed into his body. "Don't be affraid", said Ziggy, "i won't hurt you..." The rest of the creature's body turned inexplicably towards the spider, as if it was hypnotised.

"I'm Ziggy the spider, what's your name?"

"My name is Frogstler Green, but you can call me Froggy"

As they continued talking the little frog wasn't feeling so scared anymore, the spider's fearsome appearance seemed to have faded away. Ziggy's soft and warm voice, gave Froggy a comfortable feeling. He no longer saw Ziggy as an enemy, but as a friend. 

Although he looked calm, Ziggy could sense in Froggy's faltering voice a certain hesitation and asked him:  

"Are you ok?  you seem a bit troubled...

"Aaa... yeah... i'm.... fine..."

While the spider got closer, throwing his huge hairy black legs one in front of each other, the frog took one step back, then another one, untill he realised he was pressing his back against the cold glass of the terrarium.  The spider got so closer he could almost hear the frog's uncontrollable heart beats and said with a deep voice : "Are you sure ?" And then he smiled, showing his huge sharp fangs and took a step back... " You thought i was going to eat you? "

" Oh yess...  ", said the frog with a relieved voice

Ziggy's loud laughter put Froggy's smile back on his face... 

" Actually i'm a vegetarian..." , said Ziggy

" But what about the fangs ? "

" Oooh, those little fellas? they're for aa... tearing up the leaves from branches and ... other stuff like that..."

eye in the sky


"i am the eye in the sky
looking at you
i can read your mind
i am the maker of rules
dealing with fools
i can cheat you blind
and i don't need to see any more
to know that
i can read your mind, i can read your mind"

make hay...

...not war

"The sun is shining
We should be making hay
But we're dead from the waist down
Like in California

Victory is empty
There are lessons in defeat
But we're dead from the waist down
We are sleeping on our feet

We stole the songs from birds in trees
Bought us time on easy street
Now our paths, they never meet
We chose to court and flatter greed, ego disposability
I caught a glimpse, and it's not me

Make hay not war
Make hay not war
Make hay not war
Or else we're done for
And we're dead from the waist down"

Flowers In The Window



"Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Lets watch the flowers grow."

Rosu, galben si albastru


Lupeni


"Trei culori cunosc pe lume,
Amintind de-un brav popor,
Ce-i viteaz, cu vechi renume,
În luptă triumfător.

Multe secole luptară
Străbunii noştri eroi,
Să trăim stăpîni în ţară,
Ziditori ai lumii noi.

Roşu, galben şi albastru
Este-al nostru tricolor.
Se înalţă ca un astru
Gloriosul meu popor.

Suntem un popor în lume
Strîns unit şi muncitor,
Liber, cu un nou renume
Şi un ţel cutezător.

Azi partidul ne uneşte
Şi pe plaiul românesc
Socialismul se clădeşte,
Prin elan muncitoresc.

Pentru-a patriei onoare,
Vrăjmaşii-n luptă-i zdrobim.
Cu alte neamuri sub soare,
Demn, în pace, să trăim.

Iar tu, Românie mândră,
Tot mereu să dăinuieşti
Şi în comunista eră
Ca o stea să străluceşti."

Trubadurul in gara din Deva


Flavius

Give me a guitar and I’ll be a troubadur
Your strolling minstrels will century door to door
I don’t know anymore if that feeling is past
Will it last?
Oh how can you be sure?

And if you want it too, then there’s nothing left to do
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band
Lets start a band"

"And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll."

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
