Distant drums could be beating,
But I care not to listen anymore.
Boys and girls could be meeting
To dance gracefully across the floor,
But I'll stay here contently alone.

I feel not the gathering desire,
And would rather rest right here,
Nothing there can newly inspire,
Exuberant youth can not bring cheer
I'd prefer the calm of my home.

Musical memories haunt my thought
Reflecting in these silent shadows,
I didn't catch or became sweetly caught,
But remained behind drawn windows,
Staying here still contently alone.

a mournful tune, Gloom
hearing a song of cold dampness
solitary by choice is still a lonely place
yet can have its own rewards

Ambrose Bierce would enjoy this one. Melancholy at it's finest. Thanks for sharing.

I can understand so well, I could have written something like this...but until I do, I'll enjoy yours
