Swansong
I once thought I might live for ever
But your reading these words
Proved me wrong
…
So I thought I might write you a letter
But it turned into a
Poetic, prophetic swansong …

Don't we all have that same illusion mon ami ? The inevitable occurs and we have to surrender as these few lines impressively prove with solemn yet an ever so slight wry humour. - or maybe that is just me .............. x
.................................................. Nah... its the both of us ................... thanking you Fay n truly ... x
Glad we have this something in common re. poppin' clogs which I believe is quiet rare - ere's smilin' atcha - and big now................x
It's a surprise i've lasted this long. Long enough to admit, I like your style a lot but today you've confused me
sometimes the imagination has a will of its own .. and when that happens, the pen takes over .... hang about until tomorrow, I shall try and put all to writes ...
I have plenty of thoses, I used to not want to hear now I've learnt to hold on to that tear!
A few little lines made my head explode, now that's a captain of a poetic soul!
Thanks for sharing!
.................Cheers Dan, it is my sincere hope that when it seems one might be .... alone, unwelcome, unwanted or unloved ... Some bright spark might come along, notices .. holds up a light and offers a hug................................
Here, here!
But you'll be back tomorrow, surely.
And now, nor a swansong - in an old TV series, my Mum said that my Gran used to say, if anyone got shot or injured etc: 'The b****r will be back next week!' Ooohh!
back in the day, I'm betting your Nan was ever so astute .. thanks Orchidee 🙂
Have you swans sing
On water or wing
And if you have heard
This elegant bird
Is it rock, pop, or swing
That you’ve heard this bird sing.
................... I do quite like my rock & my folk and funnily enough, I have just been penning something along these lines ... but for now I'm gonna thank ya and sign orf without my usual cygneture, becuz the N's tired .......... Z 🙂
Loved this write...what else can I say?....
.............................................. How bloomin kind, bless ya Christina .. that'll do just nicely ..
That swansong is within all of us but we still have too much to do to sing it yet.
Andy
............................................... I certainly hope so my golden friend & thanks for reminding me ...
lol, this is so relatable to us scribblers, what W B Yeats took a page to unravel, you uncoiled within two stanzas my friend,
Brilliant!

.............................Many sincere thanks are being sent first class and immediately ... before it's too la
Nice view Neville, slightly darkly through a funnily dry lens! I should think about writing a will. Thanks
