Saturday, December 31, 2005 A Long December
A long december and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin' Now the days go by so fast And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in hollywood If you think that I could be forgiven ... i wish you would The smell of hospitals in winter And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls All at once you look across a crowded room To see the way that light attaches to a girl And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in hollywood If you think you might come to california ... i think you should Drove up to hillside manor sometime after two a.m. And talked a little while about the year I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower, Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her And it's been a long december and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself To hold on to these moments as they pass And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in hollywood It's been so long since I've seen the ocean ... i guess I should - Counting Crows Susan Reno-Gilliland A Southern Belle's Life 2005 © Copyrighted Materials - All Rights Reserved. |

(don't let that fool you!) Many of the entries you will read in this blog were originally published under my alter-ego (pictured above) during the last eighteen-plus months. Sometimes we realize that what began as one thing mutates into something else entirely. Therefore, I wanted to salvage my previously published works on a site that was strictly controlled by me. I hope you will enjoy at least some of what you read, and will leave your comments along the way. Thanks for your indulgence. When a Writer’s integrity and a Site’s standards ultimately end up at diametrically opposite ends of the spectrum, it is time for the Writer to sever the association if the Writer hopes to maintain their reputation as a legitimate Writer. "To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong." ~ Joseph Chilton Pierce "Art, like morality, consists in drawing a line somewhere" ~ Gilbert Chesterton (1874-1936) "This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime." ~ 'Robert Kincaid' [TBOMC] "Love that we cannot have, Is the one that lasts the longest, Hurts the deepest, And feels the strongest!" ~ Unknown And, on that final note, I will (once again) leave you with a very wise quote from Oscar Wilde ... "Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage, to yield to." Archives |
