Telling So fleeting, time, before the mind goes or cancer takes hold, the kids grow up, we grow old, more funerals than weddings, and loneliness becomes a pastime. So it’s interesting, how much is wasted on ignorant notions, acquisitiveness, and selfishness. What of passion? If you find it, hold on, drink, drown in it. For once it’s gone, the dry spell can kill you. © 2000 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 05-23-2000).] |

Corinne~ WOW ! What wisdomed thoughts from such a youthful heart ! 'What of passion? Truly golden, if you find it, hold on to it, drink it, drown in it. For once it’s gone, the dry spell can kill you.' Like I said ... WOW ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
