I watch the water shimmer and move, so many colors reflected in its surface. It looks like a kaleidoscope, so many shapes, moving and breaking up, then merging together again as one. I see someone under water but they are blurry. It is like an illusion. One second I see them, and the next, I'm not sure I saw anything at all.
Life has many facets and aspects. It irks me how sometimes it is so unclear, everything is blurry, like I lost my glasses. But at other times, it is clear as day.
The end. It feels so final. But at the same time, it has a satisfying ring to it. It feels good to be able to close the door on one chapter of your life, and be proud of what you did, and have something new to look forward to. No matter how many endings in life there may be, know that there will always be a new beginning.
Reminds me of the lyric: 'Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end'.
ReplyDeleteThere's an M missing in shimmer, and an R in blurry. You might want to run kaleidoscope through spellcheck.
ReplyDeleteThere's also an extra apostrophe in your post :)
Gah, with my lousy grammar, who am I to correct you anyway?
Thanks. I typed it in explorer, and it doesn't have automatic spell check. This is how I REALLY spell. :)
ReplyDeleteNo no, correcting me is good, how else would I learn. And your grammar isn't half bad.
What song are those lyrics from?
Ok spell check caught the ones you pointed out. I still don't see the extra apostrophe.
ReplyDeleteThere are only two apostrophes, I'm referring to the only one this rule applies to.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm wondering if I'm supposed to apologize for posting a 'treif' lyric in my comment.
Ahhhhh, you are right. I found it. Thanks for pointing that out. Stop belittling your own master of the English language.
ReplyDeleteNo apologies necessary, everyone is at their own level vis a vis chassidishkeitwise. I still want to know where it comes from though. Never mind, I can google it.
It's a song by Semisonic called Closing Time, traditionally played in bars at closing time.
ReplyDeleteYa, just found it. Ah, the wonders of google. And you tube. Not bad, it's an older song.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to music, older is oftentimes better, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know. Actually, the oldies Jewish music is definitely better.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, all the kids in camp sing non Jewish songs all day long, and also unfortunately, I know every single one of them. I try to encourage Jewish songs, but I'm not a very big singer.
Anyway, I like lyrics, they can say what you are feeling but cannot express.
