A second blog on ‘creating’, my last one I promise…Next week I will do some serious exploring again! I just have had too much fun making some more poses and pictures, a welcome distraction in between RL classes and long days of homework!

A few days ago, Coober got the Solaris Avatar from Fallen Gods Inc, and since I already had the female version he suggested we would do a picture together. Coober came up with an idea for a pose that he had in mind and he built a set, while I made the poses for us. A real joined artistic effort!

Coobs had a different idea of course, that is why doing this together is so lovely as the endresults are both amazing and both so different!

While posing, and seeing us as God and Goddess of the sun, I could not help but hearing an epic Dutch song in my head (Pastorale by Liesbeth List and Ramses Shaffy – 1969) and looked it up on youtube to listen. Not only do I love the dramatic music, but the lyrics are amazing – the use of language makes this song a true poem.

The song is a conversation between the Sun (the man) and the Earth (the lady), she loves him and he is quite arrogant and telling her it is impossible to love the sun. Since it is in Dutch I realise it won’t make much sense for non-Dutch speakers, so I gave it a try and translated it into English – although that doesn’t do the actual play of words and poetry justice (I am not a poet nor a writer..), but just to give a general idea, combined with the music.

(He, the Sun)

My skies blue, with golden hallways

My towers of clouds, ice crystals

Comets, moons and planets, aahh everything evolves around me

And through the white ports of clouds, till deep below the waves

Penetrates my fire, my love, itself in the earth

And at the seaside a child is playing

And every seashell it collects, will shine when I smile

(She, the Earth)

love your warmth on my face

I love the copper colours of your light

I give you water from my hand

And sheahells from the salty sand

I love you so, I love you so much

(Sun)

I tear the rocks apart with my beams

Rise the lakes and the valleys and

Thunderstorms I chase away, aaahhh when the rain falls down

Hide your eyes in my hand

Before my smile will burn them

My fire, my love, my golden eyes

It’s best that you should wait a while

Because in a moment the night will fall and the cool moon will shine

(Earth)

The night is too cold, the moon too gray

Please take me with you to your heavenly palace

I want to be there, just with you

And glow in the skies so blue

I love you so, I love you so much

(Sun)

When I warm the earth

I let her live in my arms

Of the stars I weave the far away, ahh, the northern ligth

But sometimes I am like boiling lead

I am life and I am death

In fire, in love, in all times

My child, I ask you, look up to above

Today I will create a rainbow

Specially for you

(Sun and Earth:)

I never stop thinking for a second

I’d rather burn, please take me with you

No human can force me whan I dont want to

And when you go to sleep in sea tonight

And fly across you milkey way

You cannot love the sun

I do not ever want to leave you

I love you so, so much
