Musical Mnemonic

Musical Mnemonic

I'm getting old 

Or so I'm told 

Getting long in the tooth, 

Ain't that the truth! 

Yet I trundle along 

Till I hear that song 

Then years disappear.

As the notes reach my ears,

I'm back to being eighteen 

Dance, dance,

My brain screams !

I travel back in time 

To when I was in my prime,

The music would play 

We'd dance and sway, 

We'd kiss and caress, 

Needing love,

 Wanting to possess,.

The tune gently fades, 

Reality invades, 

I'm back to today,

To continue my decay! 

Yet when I hear that melody, 

I'm back to the previous century!

The Parting

The Parting 

Picture by Tracey Grumbach

The time has come to dip your toe 

In the Ocean of life, 

So swim strong,

My love

Just go! 

The time has come for grown up things, 

Of love and strife, 

My love 

The reality that all of life 

Brings! 

  

The time has come to leave the nest, 

Our loving bond, 

My love

Always to remain,

Intact, whole, 

Blessed! 

The time has come

My love, 

To learn to fly, 

Leave the ocean say goodbye, 

Grasp at your dreams 

Reach for the sky! 

  The time has come to say goodbye 

  To innocence of  childhood 

  So soar high, 

  My love 

  Just fly!

  The time has come for you to fly, 

  Go my love ,

  Turn away now, 

  Don't say good bye 

  Allow my tears to flow, 

  Allow me to 

  Cry!
