Hello my friend it's been a while
How have you been I've been fine
A blank page stares up at me
It laughs at each written line
I thought for a while,
if I had a window on the past...
but time rescinds
I try to recall
for all I've forgotten must return
to circling winds.
And I can pick up the telephone
I would not know what to say.
The words get taken one by one
If you are left each day.
Nostalgic laments
For plans made but never carried through
The loneliness begins
Where will I be
When all human ties are swept away
By circling winds?
For old acquaintance be forgot
For that time take your bow
I've kept a lot of pictures but they
Don't say much to me now.
Thought for a while,
If I had a window on the past...
but memory rescinds.
I try to recall
But all I've forgotten has returned
To circling winds.
