A Fragile Spell |

A Fragile Spell I heard a song the other day. An old one that I used to play On the piano, while we sang. It caused a sudden, wistful pang, Because those days have disappeared And the piano, I revered, Has long been gone and not replaced. Our voices that so often graced The evening hours, silent now. I wish I could revive somehow, Those early years, for I recall, Contentment hovered over all. Too many problems came to dwell And broke that sweet and fragile spell!

A very beautiful poem. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... |

The past does have an odd way of sneaking up on you, doesn't it? I really enjoyed this... Reminded me of my own music hidden somewhere yet to be re-obtained. /pip/Forum27/HTML/002163.html Very nicely written BWA I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell. |

Day dreaming is definitely a sweet feeling. Reality haunts us far too much. Melton |

Pulled at my heartstrings so much. Choked back the tears. This is so sad. Made me want to pat this person on the shoulder, and tell them it's going to be alright. Ahem..still clearing my throat. :'( SharaRose @-->-- Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |
