i really hate winter but thanks for the sentiment
Autumn... I grew up in the Caribbean... a land without Seasons... Summer all year long!!!! While living in DC... I wrote a song many, many years ago... "Autumn is Arriving"... started with...
autumn is arriving
almost unannounced
but for the stillness in the air
and the browning of the trees
all I true remember is the last ending line
autumn has arrived.
the music and lyrics are in a crashed hard drive that one day it will be cost effective to recover. It was a nice, productive period at the beginning of this century while I was living in DC and Maryland. Oh the Memories of the Women and the Life. Only those who "Live" can appreciate the "Memories". Let it Fall.
@SaucyCheryl Ohh… it was a very sad song... possible realizing Divorce been final for a while and we both moved on with little looking back except for the kids we shared. It is the first time I associated the song with my Divorce... strange... Divorce happened on 2000. We get along great now.... she called me yesterday... picking us up Friday... Me and the kids flying Friday to Puerto Rico. Nothing to it... she is in a Good Relationship.... wishing her well. I am content dodging bullets but very excited to Relocate back home.... Creativity juices will flow once back home... already started... wrote this yesterday... "Skulls" {possible relates to all the affairs left behind}
skulls sep 22 2019
you walk with the soft pace
of those walking in eggshells
lightly...
lightly...
but if you look what is
crushed below your toes
you will see they are...
skulls
skulls
you speak with the soft tongue
of the bellicose doing his troll
softly...
softly...
but if you listen to your scream
hidden behind your flaws
you will hear cracking...
skulls
skulls
So you say...
the system is broken
evil is built in
into the laws
so we all need a lawyer
to claim our innocence
there is no wrong
only different layers
of right
graffiti on amendment
truths and lies
etched on stone
you running with the abandon
of the criminal being pursuit
bones...
bones...
but if you hear what we hear
with every step
your eyes turn to the rear
your fled can't make them disappear
is the guilt
embracing the fear
beneath your feet
contact clear
human skulls

@SaucyCheryl "The Agony and the Ecstasy" comes to mind. I love Movies about those who create.... art, music, writing... is the process. Everything is Fair Game. Life is the Teacher.
