Life, music and memories

Poetic Dan



I awoke with a song I'd been looking for in my head
Like a tap turned on the lyrics repeating again and again
"You light up another cigarette and I pour the wine"
I try to drift back off but it's all that's on my mind
Needing to know the rest I start to type it in
The moment I see the title I'm hit with all of it

Now I'm up with a cup of hot water and a smoke
I begin to play the song, watching the movie of my life unfold
To be placed in a time I was so happy nothing could go wrong
Happily married with a child and earning enough for fun
I start to cry knowing this has all been and done
Then I find comfort in knowing loves beautiful lesson
For when I find that happiness I'll have more appreciation
Understanding the tears from the past are because I'm back at a family station
This one's built on an unshakeable foundation

Thank you universe
For the wonder of life
Better to lived than not

      So kind my dear and thank you very much, I loved singing this song in the work van waiting for the day to end to go home. It now has much more meaning listening to it, thank you for being here on my journey.

                It is slowly getting down to my kind of temperature, I just don't feel the cold, people look at me as if I am daft still in my short sleeved shirt.
