I wonder what you will recall When I’m dead and gone Will it be a sad old man Lost, alone, forlorn Or something different That you might see With your life rolling by As you dance with glee Perhaps that lonely, equidistant man That quietly lived life’s hollow lie Who just seemed to stumble through Scarcely able to reason why Spare a thought for an erratic youth Unbroken! Running, sightless and free Blinded by the sight of love’s deceit Far too innocuous ever to believe Or possibly the innocent child One last thought, sweet babe in arm Just one more of life’s mistakes Surely contrived to break the calm! It's okay to shoot the moon ~ John Sebastian |

Very interesting with excellent points made here. But I hope I don't know what other's think about me once I am gone and dead. Might be even more depressing than the life I live now!! lol Good read, Mags Don't cry because it's over: smile because it happened. |

True, I guess life can be depressing enough without worrying about things like that. I don't think it bothers me all much really, just some ramblings from having a bad weekend I guess. Take care! |

"Perhaps that lonely, equidistant man That quietly lived life’s hollow lie Who just seemed to stumble through Scarcely able to reason why" Change the gender, and I've thought along similar lines. Some days I scratch my head and wonder who, what, when, where...why? I enjoyed your pondering. |

Eagle One, yes, what will they remember when we are gone. And why do all of the "bad" things come to mind when we ponder. Lots of different thoughts in this piece. Who can figure it out? Good........ ME |
