I'm going to close, myself for renovation,
'gonna try to clean out, all my temptation.
I'll pile up memories, in a heap with desire,
and douse the embers, on a long burning fire.

On satin sheets, no more will I sleep.
Cotton will absorb, the tears that I weep.
I'll change my tune, to the blues with a beat.
Watch yesterday die, in the flames and the heat.

I'll look around me, if I like what I see.
Then I'll reopen, with a renovated me.
This is a challenge, not sure I can win.
So if I fail, I'll never open again !

If you can't make it so,
you need to let it go!

Yeah.....and how many times I have renovated the same exact way, only to find out that my heart went ahead and hung a "Grand Opening" sign out there for the world to see!!!
This is great, my friend, and up it goes!!!!

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...

kitty,

i have often felt the same longing to disregard the previous me and start totally afresh...

but alas, i can never summon up enough courage to "close" myself...i wonder if that is bad??
