Abandon entouré d’abandon

A fine personal selection of classical and choral music, poetry and quotes, and with the occasional cat. Now with the cello too ♥

I forgot there was a yesterday when breezes softly blew where hidden moments were tucked away with lonely thoughts of you

I forgot there was a yesterday when we knew how to dance to music only we could play as we floated in a trance

of what could never be as minutes ticked away

on instruments of our own device that only we could play

I forgot the cost

of being one

of the lost

as lonely as an unheard sigh breezes gently usher by leaving me to wonder why they cannot carry you

Filtered sunlight through evening treetops, breathes serenity within the dreaming forest. Beyond the sparse canopy - a fairy wren sings; and the painted wallaby rises cautiously. In the underfoot of forgotten gum leaves.

Only in Sleep - composed Erik Esenvalds Only in sleep I see their faces, Children I played with when I was a child, Louise comes back with her brown hair braided, Annie with ringlets warm and wild.

Only in sleep Time is forgotten— What may have come to them, who can know? Yet we played last night as long ago, And the dollhouse stood at the turn of the stair.

The years had not sharpened their smooth round faces, I met their eyes and found them mild— Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder, And for them am I too a child? - Sara Teasdale
