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.
