All I want is you...

"All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea"

The movie "Juno" opens with this song... the tune is catchy and of course the lyrics are great... the romantic in me really loved it I guess... The song just goes on and on about what "I" would be if "you" were something... very cheesy and feel-goody... lol... a sense of contentment and security by "holding in your arms" and at the same time, a sense of nonchalance and danger by "swaying like the sea"... I believe that the concept is too romantic... like in the dreams... too unworldly... nevertheless it is this idea that makes one hopeful for a better tomorrow... to look for the "one" to whom one can say "All I want is you..." and who says the same thing back!

Life is like a meandering river... or a stream? It takes us through the exquisite beauty of mother nature... forests, trees, beautiful sunsets, sunrises... nice neighborhoods... and of course there will always be rocking of the boat... dangerous terrain... rough waters... it shows us everything... and makes the ride interesting, sad, joyous... and all the other emotions you can think of... :)

Is it in the human mind to perceive what it internally feels, in the nature outside? I guess so... Consider a rainy day! If you are internally feeling sad, you get a feeling that the nature is shedding silent tears with you... The same rain accompanied with a fresh smell of moist earth can initiate a feeling of a cleansing away the sadness and looking forward to a new, happy tomorrow, if you are internally feeling optimistic... The same rain can generate a feeling that the nature is equally depressed with black clouds hanging low, looking towards impending gloom, if you are feeling dismally despondent... If you are spending time with a loved one, you will feel like dancing in the rain and appreciate that the nature is tossing tiny goblets of joy at you and your lover... It is just so fascinating, at the same time, astounding, how differently the mind comprehends the same fact, based on its current state.

A spate of disconnected thoughts and I guess I felt a sudden impulse to write... Am I being too cut-off from reality these days? My writing might suggest so, though I do not think I am... :P
