FREEDOM 

                                use it well

Illuminate me from above

Illuminate me from above

let me walk a while in the sun

I’ve spent too many nights

with my mouth around a gun

Illuminate me from above

let me have my moment at last

let me live in the presence

and forget about the past

I’ve searched through my heart

I’ve sifted through bitter ashes

to find a sturdy part

a black box they find at crashes

I’ve fled to another world

to cut the cord that binds me

to this broken world

but somehow it always finds me

Illuminate me from above

point me out to the reaper

the shadows hide me no more

I’m tired of being a creeper

Light me up from below

if that’s where you want to send me

I’ve cursed enough to be welcomed

I’ve hated enough to be loved

Unlit candles

unlit candles makes me sad

Enya

Okay Mr Moon, by all means unleash the night. 

We are ready, our eyes are closed,

We welcome the embrace.

Enter, little star

you are most expected

onto our sky

Into our world

into our lives

into our hearts

I love the fall

it's the answer to it all...

Darth Vader Jellyfish

This is the Hydromedusa "Darth Vader" Jellyfish, or rather Bathykorus bouilloni.
It's a litte deep-sea jelly fish discovered around 2005 by Kevin Raskoff, and it wasn't just a new species, but a new genus! And for a nerd it kinda looks like Darth Vaders helmet, doesn't it?
