Today’s Throwback Friday poem is not on my Website but appears in my book “Tullawalla”, Chapter 6, page 101, and I wrote the original version in October 2019.
Bohemian Lyrics
What we imagine
And what is real
Are not the same deal
Dust, lifeβs spicks and specks
Are blended inside the earthβs vortex
We are only our solar systemβs subjects
And beyond gathering grey clouds
There is, the stars sheltering shroud
Whatever the words, let them roll
Whatever the feelings, let them be our soul
Old lines drawn in the sand
May be erased by forgiving hands
Gaeaβs liquid words caress the air we breathe
Capturing chords within the whispering trees
Time deflects in the end
Time rewinds and amends
Love is the worldβs unwound relic
Love is an empty heartsβ bohemian lyric

I find this poem to be so beautiful and heart-touching! And reading it while listening to THAT song got me a bit teary-eyed. π Memories keep people and love alive in our hearts. π
