Transistor Transitions Waller Park is still the setting for those memories of yesterday Santa Barbara County pines still hold me in their sway to be alone and to be free there I'd go to make memories ah…memories of me on the go with my transistor radio dreamer dreaming in daylight blue where did the words come from that he could sing so tenderly as if he were singing just to me and I felt the passages pass on through the shifting of sands in my mind wondering of womanhood with each transformation of chime then one day, a boy with guitar to be a Neil, to be a star strummed his lonesome melody and from a distance I watched as he went through his transitions too and I listened to words waft new and abrupt the change, it's when I knew he'd be on the radio…my transistor radio God the sky was blue that day… and the sun, could it ever be brighter? to watch the transition of his face as he grew in content and in grace the batteries in my radio began to weaken, lost their glow that young man's voice crossed the air to me, alone, just standing there God the sun was bright that day the blue sky drew me up and in that young man's voice increased in tone and the passages began to begin he would go his way in time and I would follow many roads but I'm thankful for memories of pine and for that transistor radio 01/13/01 |

Karilea, God the sky was blue that day God the sun was bright that day To me alone just standing there As his voice crossed the misty air. You have some wonderful lines, I enjoyed the read.*L* |

I didn't read this. I watched it play out before my eyes. Wonderful write. Felt on the spot. Loved it. My first look at a transistor radio was on a school bus; one of the "well off" kids got one right after they came out in hand-held size. Everyone was amazed! Enjoyed this and the memories it provoked. jwesley |

James...thank you! I was always amazed that around midnight I could pick up LA stations from almost 200 miles away...of course, weather conditions prevailed on the signals...and there was many a night that the radio was tucked under my pillow just before I closed my eyes... glad you Didn't Read....the other way is much more enjoyable... |

Encre, it is my pleasure to Welcome you to Passions...sit back and relax...there is always Plenty to Read! Thank you for your comment! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
