Leo's World

Anna Shaw

Leo's World

This is the very first in the ‘World of the Zodiac’ series and what started my thinking about all the ones that have followed.

It is my particular favourite. Within the image, all the zodiac signs are represented, either symbolically or realistically.

You will notice that Leo is a lioness!

And so the female world of the zodiac was born.

The music is so apt for this image. Please listen to it is so hauntingly beautiful. The lyrics are below….

The Voice
I hear your voice on the wind
And I hear you call out my name

“Listen, my child,” you say to me
“I am the voice of your history
Be not afraid, come follow me
Answer my call, and I’ll set you free”

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice, I will remain

I am the voice in the fields when the summer’s gone
The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow
Ne’er do I sleep thoughout all the cold winter long
I am the force that in springtime will grow

I am the voice of the past that will always be
Filled with my sorrow and blood in my fields
I am the voice of the future, bring me your peace
Bring me your peace, and my wounds, they will heal

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice

I am the voice of the past that will always be
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice of the future
I am the voice, I am the voice
I am the voice, I am the voice

The Leo zodiac sign is a fire sign which points to a highly temperamental personality. Hurt a Leo woman’s pride and she roars like a lioness. Most Leo women are not the type to stay angry very long though and they are inclined to treat a bad situation with a wickedly delightful sense of humor.

Many men are attracted to Leo women because they are often some of the most beautiful women in the zodiac. Men also find Leo women very passionate, loving, and loyal lovers.

The Leo woman’s attitude toward life is a celebration of opulence and generosity which attracts many lovers throughout her life.

    I am dreaming of a reunion between Celtic Woman and Il Divo ... I hope to live enough to hear it !!!!

    “Being retired my wife (RB member Anna Shaw) and I are very lucky as we share the same interests in photography and Photoshop.”
    yes, you both are… it is so rare that you must enjoy every moment of it !

    oh, and by the way, fantabulous work… again !
    my best, francis.

  • Anna Shaw replied

    Dear Francis, what a tower of support you are!! Yes, I do count my blessings every Day. Bob is just the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met, and it is wonderful that we share the same interests. BUT since joining RedBubble – we seem to spend all our time on the computers!!! I wonder if Rb has ever been cited in a divorce?? LOL.
    Thank you. You are very special ( and I mean that in the English context – not the French!!!)
