yada yada yada

[hoops]

One vicarious life
Watched but not seen
Listened to
Without ever hearing
A whisper
In the mind
And sung
To the soul
Filling listless life
With tears, hope, joy
Leaving empty
Full of nothing
But wishes
That will never be
Death is slow
And painful
Lonely and afraid
Of a vicarious life
Never wanting
To be all
That is left behind

Lovely, Hoops. But then, you knew I was a poetry fan from way back.

I try to write lyrics....alas, it seems to be a talent I was not given. Since I cannot read music and have only twice managed to match a tune to my efforts, guess I'd better keep my day job.

[hoops]

There's an idea, Hoops. Them that can, do. Them that can't, appreciate. Works better than other versions of the phrase that I've heard over the years.
