The music lives on,
though the dancers have
long departed. In this
sad ballroom of lost dreams
and empty memories,
the notes of not-quite
forgotten songs linger
in the air--a reminder
of youth and soft indiscretions,
free of malice and adult obsessions.

I wonder Bill how often we hear a piece of music that takes us back in time to a more softer and wonderful time. I think we have all spent at least some time in that sad ballroom of lost dreams.. Excellent write....mal
