soundtracks

my life has been good
even without the days of wine and roses
even though I never had
a theme song written by Henry Mancini
or Johnny Mercer lyrics, but pretty ok
when one tries to qualify such things
I relate to Nowhere Man sitting there
is his Nowhereland making all those silly plans
for nobody, knowing not where he's going.....
I feel too like an autumn leaf
fallen and drifting in the turbulent air
of Indian summer, blowing in the wind
like Dylan said and, Bob did pose some damn good questions
wondering about how many roads one would need to walk down
to call himself a man....but I ...prefer the forest trails
walking straight into utter joy, the solitude
of fresh pine, so I never think at all about the distance
or the manliness
more into the quality than the quantity
stick in hand, boots on the ground
sunshine filtered through a dense oak and maple canopy
branches touching every single background sky
hues of the great spirit's rainbow palette.....
love in my heart,
....................and old songs in my head
even without the days of wine and roses
even though I never had
a theme song written by Henry Mancini
or Johnny Mercer lyrics, but pretty ok
when one tries to qualify such things
I relate to Nowhere Man sitting there
is his Nowhereland making all those silly plans
for nobody, knowing not where he's going.....
