Chasing Melancholy Where all time-singed dreams and promises lie forgotten… like faded flowers in the final, fleeting shaft of Winter sunlight, or a wild Winter wind taunts the thin-veiled moon, in that thunderous quiet just beyond midnight, ‘til one can no longer hear the ‘music’ of life, and nothing seems left to truly cherish… extinguish all lights and let the sublimely shimmering stars slip in, for a vast-trembling universe of infinite wonder and promise lies beckoning…just beyond the window’s empty mirror! |

Being a predominantly melancholic nature myself, I understand what you express so masterfully here, dear Bruce. Wow, but how beautiful "chasing melancholy" can be?! In your language: applause! Love, Margherita  |

Beautiful, but I say don't chase it -- let it get away and just enjoy the perfection that nature showcases for us. Your friend, A |

quote: ... yes there, beyond the window, the soul is free to travel, there, where every sigh resonates in the vastness and depth of universe ... and the soul remembers and longs to dance once more ... ... had to come back for another read, dear Bruce. This is one of my very favorite of yours. Love, Margherita See: /main/forumdisplay.cgi?action=displayarchive&number=64&topic=003098 |

We all think of the wonder and promise beyond the 'window's empty mirror" The rest of us just can't express these feelings as well as you do, Bruce. |
