It's a runaway dream...

There it sits, just out of my sight,
It’s a runaway dream…
For a moment it pauses, in the light,
It’s a runaway dream…
I know it is there, yet it is unseen,
It’s a runaway dream…
I think I see it, it starts to preen,
It’s a runaway dream…
My heart starts to beat, I stumble around,
It’s a runaway dream…
I lie there, defeated, on the ground,
That runaway dream…

Hieroglyphics

A hieroglyph is a character from a logographic or partly logographic writing system.
The term originally referred to the Egyptian hieroglyphs, but is also applied to the ancient Cretan Luwian, Mayan and Mi'kmaq scripts, and occasionally also to Chinese characters.

The word Hieroglyphs derives from the Greek words ἱερός (hierós 'sacred') and γλύφειν (glúphein 'to carve' or 'to write', see glyph), and was first used to describe Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The word "hieroglyphics" is derived from the fact that the Greeks called Egyptian hieroglyphs τά ἱερογλυφικά γράμματα 'hieroglyphic letters'; however, they sometimes simply dropped the word γράμματα, "letters", calling them τά ἱερογλυφικά 'the hieroglyphics' ('letters' being understood). This was used in informal use.

In the same way, although the term "hieroglyphics" is still used today, this usage adds a tone of informality, and is technically incorrect. It is more correct to use the noun "hieroglyphs" for both the language as a whole and for the individual characters that compose it, or to use the term "hieroglyphic" as an adjective (e.g., a hieroglyphic writing system).

A fairly 'high-up' NZ wonder...

Cape Reinga (or Te Rerenga Wairua in Māori) is the northwesternmost tip of the north island, New Zealand. Cape Reinga is located over 100 km north of the nearest small town of Kaitaia. There is a road all the way but the final 20 km (approximately) are gravel road. Suitable vehicles can travel much of the way via Ninety Mile Beach and Te Paki stream bed.
The name of the cape comes from the Māori word 'Reinga', meaning the 'Underworld'. Another Māori name is 'Te Rerenga Wairua', meaning the leaping-off place of spirits. Both refer to the Māori belief that the cape is the point where the spirits of the dead enter the underworld.

Cape reinga lighthouse (up and down)

Cape Reinga is generally considered the separation marker between the Tasman Sea to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. From the lighthouse it is possible to watch the tidal race, as the two seas clash to create unsettled waters just off the coast.
The cape is often mistakenly thought of as being the northernmost point of the North Island, and thus, of mainland New Zealand. However, North Cape's Surville Cliffs, 30 km east of Cape Reinga, are slightly more northerly.

This post is because i went up there these holidays so i have found an interest in it and i hope you have too.

Please note that all of these pictures were taken by me and therefore do not need a reference.
