To Come and Be...

[anirbas]

Goodbyes are heard amidst
the sounds of one door closing
as another prosaically opens...

Living is made for broadening
ones horizons and expanding
ones territories,
as goes the ba-dum-dum-dumb
cliche of this Monday evening
winding no longer slowly
but quickly down...

Dire Straits serenades me
with 'Your Latest Trick'...

As I look away from the past,
stand in the moment,
shoulders squared
and look forward
to every breath...

And all that is yet,
to come and be,
around future's corner...

Doin' the 'Walk of Life'...

sometimes all of that "accumulated knowledge" we have earned and carry with us is quite a weight eh? It is always the ghost of Christmas future that was the final part of the equation that turns Ebeneezer Scrooge around, because, he can do something about that outcome...in the here and now....
"The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick"

those guys write good poems in the form of songs...

Lyricist are poets whom choose to also put their words to music...I worshipped at the feet of the particular album of theirs, 'Brothers In Arms', in the eighties. lol My salad days.

"satin jazzmen"...
