Time For Change |

I felt the time for change so I cut a good six inches off my head, I talked to old friends, and I moved my bed. I blew off the wind, kicked the stars into the moon, relaxed my mind a little while, and I slept in the afternoon. I made up my own song on my little black guitar, bought a bus ticket to California, accepting things the way they are. Talk is cheap and does no good, tears are always misunderstood. Sure need to get this dust out of my throat, it feels strange- no turning back since the minute I felt the time for change. |

Ch-ch-ch-changes... Don't they suck? I guess it depends... Enjoyed your imagery and sense of "reckless" abandon... -MVS You CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: |

Nice...I thought this might be about Obama...I thought for a while about his "hope" and "change" promises and came up with the conclusion that this is the hope and change he speaks of..."Obama hopes to change America into a Socialist Country"...James |

Lol... Oh, how I missed that dust in my throat when I moved to Florida. I hope your changes work out better for you than mine did for me. Welcome to CA. |

I know the name of that tune lady! Great write! And yes, I hope the changes are all in the right direction for you. Change can be hard but way worth the effort. You go girl! Lori |
