Drifting on the soul

Wander with the mist
For a friend to keep
A sun for my day
The dreams in my sleep

Rummage through rubbish
Throw away my past
Unaware that memories
Are the only days that last

Look for a new life
When i have one of my own
Yearning for family
As i explore the cold, alone

Fruitless watch delivered
To a sea of ghosts
Bringing a stop to my search
Is what i need the most

Watched a play last night, one of the lines going something like this...

"I spent the first 20 years getting away from my family, and the last 20 years trying to create a family."  She was speaking to a friend, whom she viewed as a sister.

The "sister's" comment?

"Face it, most families are going to be dysfunctional."

I don't think we ever stop trying to find a family, Suede.

It's nice to know we're all part of a big one, here in Passions.

And, I could add that we spend 20 more years
trying to find all that we didn't have the
first 40 years, or at least that is the way
it seems to me...

Yes,  this is one big family here...with
many commonalities.
