dawning of a new day or close of a day spent we feel an excitement matters not, matters not we are but passersby we're here for an instant we're gone eternity if we think upon thought and let it die slow death we rob thought of substance we walk though the forest road a sense of quiet takes hold what used to make us sad we pause on our journey find a gnarled cypress tree we sit upon its roots listen to nature's song don't know how we got here don't know how long we'll stay we enjoy the moment as we empty our mind of what we used to think about sincerity pettiness put aside we breathe in earth's perfume listen to nature's voice the beauty surrounds us mists from slow-moving creek the aroma of pine where salamanders dig do we believe in God at times such as this; yessss ©March 20, 2018 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

I knew your title ("A Day In The Life") sounded familiar, Jerry. Beatles, 1967. 40 seconds of an E Major chord brought it to a stunning end. ...just bein' Bluesy |

Yep, the Beatles it was back then. Sorry to plagiarize the title. Wasn't intentional. Thanks for giving it a read and comment, Bluesy. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
