We pass each other on the stairway going in
to the smoke-filled room where a lazy rhythm all its own
beats out the tempo to the sound of dancing feet
and we look away, afraid that we’d be seen
sussing out the talent in my dream…
lifetimes gone before me, is it too late to start again…
oft times we need someone more than just a friend…
oh-oh this is such a melancholy moment ~
the past is gone and buried in the dust
and the future is entirely wound up in trust…

I’m getting tired of being the ‘eternal optimist’, Brian, with a smiling mask no matter what… I think I’m going through the doldrums!

I have melancholy moments too.. yes, lots of life has passed by, but.. in my mind I’m only half way done. I just began a new work venture, I’m leading a singles group. You just never know what might turn up next.

That is true, Bulldog, but at the moment it seems to be more and more of the same… 😦

It is healthy, even helpful to our learning and development, to acknowledge our passing feelings, but not not to become attached to them. Beautifully expressed, Denise.

Yes I fully agree, Ben. I think I need music to change my outlook. All my old favourites! 😀

But never soley trust your heart in matters romantic, it will betray you like a Judas. Give due worth to the mind and let time do what it does best.
