A thought.....
Isn't it strange how our expectations from life go on dwindling with the years until a time comes when good is simply the absence of bad…if there is any reading this please tell me if you haven’t felt this void of a goal sometime…..
Today the whole day I spent listening to songs….soft lyrical songs. I started with “poets of the fall”…then “cold play”….now am listening to “Pink Floyd”. First I would tell that the masterpieces I am sure can hold their ground against any modern poetry….they are so hauntingly beautiful…if you haven’t listened to any of them please do….
The song running now(the 4th consecutive re-run) is “Comfortably Numb”. The guitar background score is excellent but what really touches me are these lines…
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb
Somehow I feel ,except for the self-deceiving, feeling-good, optimistic yuppies, all in the journey of life can relate to these lines…..somehow I had thought writing more but am getting overcome a pleasant meditative lethargy….will give in now…….
