Listening I listened to some music play The sound I heard seemed far away Echoed in a distant hallow Nectar that I could not swallow I tried to walk a closer bide The lovely tones of it’s confide Bent my head to catch its spread But no more sound would touch my head Sorrow caused my heart to sigh Some beauties now would pass me by There was a time things seemed to blare And youth in me seemed not to care But added weight upon the scale Has turned my thoughts to wail the fail And I’m more conscious of the loss The feel and weal of natures force And softer is my footstep tread As acid eats away my thread |

When I saw the title, I thought of an evening spent listening to you talk... and how precious those memories are. *S* I like this melancholy write very much, my friend. *S* |

Ohhhhh...man. Aging? I'm reminded of Jimmy Buffet here - I'm growing older, not up. Something like that. I seem a bit heavier in my tread But thoughts of me stuck in my head Tell me I'm youthful - still unchanged - 'Til my reflection shows up again. I like reading your stuff - musical - insightful - humor brought to daily life. Thank you! Jeep Monkey |

Seymour, my pal, I'm understanding this more and more every year. "They" say we're not getting older, just better.... but it sure feels like I'm getting older. LOL Loved your poem as I always do, dear Sir Poet. Can I have a kiss on the cheek, too? Here's you a few..... Heart Hugs, Ethel |

Know what you mean, Sy, my hearing isn't as good as it used to be. But there is this other music -- the song of your soul -- and that, I believe you hear perfectly! Happy New Year! ....jo |
