YESTERDAY
In the distance
a song
of bygones
entire of
woe’s
and time passes
still the clouded
melody
pounds in the
serenity of my
solo heart

Oh yes, I like this Amanda! I have (believe it or not) been working on the same theme – talk about ‘great minds’. 😆 Take care… xxx

I think we’re on the same wave Adee, like the idea of great minds think alike!! You take care and have a wonderful day too my dearest Adee xxx

Oh, such a sweet, sorrowful thing … I like the feathered mask. Really makes a perfect complement … and the song brings back memories … There’s still some hanging around in the old noggin! 🙂
Happy days, my talented friend. Poem on. Hugs! xx
September 23, 2010 at 7:44 am
Brings back memories to me too Jamie…and yes, some days the old noggin still shows it face 😦 Not that often though!! Hugs to you too dear Jamie xx

Beautiful song- supporting your words.. I’ve heard that the 1st time.. 🙂
Those words had actually taken me to a room where I could see a girl with her face digging her pillow and crying for her beloved..
so sad was it to feel, so nice was it to read..!!

Peter Sarstedt is not an artist I know but I loved his song and the words that you penned…you’ve got me thinking before I’ve finished my first cup of coffee. 😉
September 23, 2010 at 8:09 am
This is one of my favourite songs ever…he actually wrote this many years ago for Sophia Loren. Also having my first cup of coffee 🙂 Hope your day was a good one and sweet dreams Charles 🙂 xxx
September 23, 2010 at 1:51 am
Wait, didn’t The Beatles do “Yesterday”? (LOL!)
September 23, 2010 at 8:10 am
Yes they did, I actually played with the idea….clever YOU!!!! Hugs xxx
September 23, 2010 at 2:56 am
That song brings back memories – and your words play its refrain.
still / the clouded melody / pounds…
Love it!
September 23, 2010 at 8:11 am
Thanks Ruth, love that song so very much and brings memories back for me too!! Glad you liked my friend. Much love xxx
September 23, 2010 at 3:31 am
I am listening to the song…. It’s beautiful and fits nicely with your verse. The image of the woman’s face behind a likeness of dried flowers presents the aura of times “bygone” that you speak of in the verse. You are very creative, Amanda. Thank you for inspiring me again today! Blessings to you…
September 23, 2010 at 8:14 am
Love that song so much Carol, think one of my most favourite of all time 🙂 Glad you enjoyed. Mwah xxxx
September 23, 2010 at 4:17 am
This is lovely!
I enjoyed reminiscing with Mr. Sarstedt as well!
September 23, 2010 at 8:15 am
Thanks Thys, I love that song!! Hope things are wonderful your way my friend xxx
September 23, 2010 at 5:25 am
Thank you for the entire presentation, Amanda. All of it bears the fruit of a beautiful soul.
September 23, 2010 at 8:18 am
Ditto….right back at you my friend xxxx
September 23, 2010 at 8:23 am
This was something I was, previously, unfamiliar with but I have to say it accompanied the words quite nicely.
I usually have a joke or a quip but I think I’m just going to enjoy this post and leave it at that.
September 23, 2010 at 6:30 pm
Thanks for your kind comment, I sure will be visiting your place soon also…thanks for being here my friend x
September 23, 2010 at 8:50 am

I am so sorry Amanda. I finished looking through all the old photo’s and there is no trace of the ones I thought we had taken. Talk about being disappointed… well I was SO looking forward to finding them and now they may not even resist. Spoke to my brother last night too and he thought he remembered the photo’s too – weird! 😦 xxx
September 23, 2010 at 6:51 pm

September 23, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Beautifully written, Amanda…touching to the very core. The image struck me and moved me to be misty-eyed at the broken pieces of a beautiful face…powerful; it causes one to pause and consider.
September 23, 2010 at 6:52 pm
When the heart yearns in the early hours of the morning, that is the time the best comes out….thanks for your always kind,warm and loving comments Cowboy xxx
September 25, 2010 at 7:39 am
