So indulge me if you do, it'd be nice if you would.
A story of sixpence none the wiser...
Or is it suspense and a liar?
What does the strange bard have this time to say to me?
It does not matter at all to me, if her words want to sing...
A little tune, just for you, to say what strange bards do.
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
First of all please stretch them because they pinch my toes.
After you stretch them, maybe you could feel how worn down are the soles,
From walking towards a clue of a 1,000 miles after.
Begin say again, want to play a little game?
It may make time pass a little faster.
Try, try again, guess what not is meant,
To say when adding up random answers.
It's mostly all pretend,
for finding a way,
of making some sense...
when questions
come after?
"Here is the NEWS!"
Always consider that everything can be a clue.
But learn to read through,
and scan for what you're searching.
This is a "little" game and to "Glean" is the plan,
as to clean a slate, and learn from the past.
The Past repeats again, go back then here again,
and think possibly...
"What does the strange bard want to say to me?"
Ask an effective question.
Get an effective answer.
The Past will be looked upon,
and there will be a roar of laughter.
The main clue is at the end
you need to look back at the directions;
and loose sheets collected,
Will speak of affection....
Perhaps a 1,000 words like miles I've walked on,
aren't enough to get close, but perhaps far away enough...
That as the world turns would bring me back again....
at not making a point that this was inspired by
wanting to bring back to life a dead friendship.
No "Words" will they trade,
but lyrics did remain....
that I would walk 500 miles,
and walk 500 more in my imagination,
for you and through acts of words.
What does the strange bard have to say to me?
You could give back my shoes,
and I hope you made them a bit,
more comfortable.
"The songs are all soundtrack....
for a 'best of' hits' album"
Imagine a scene where the bard finally speaks
what they will say to me if they are not who, what, where, when? Why?
and
Am I closer to figuring out the ending
that will be one HUGE answer;
That won't end "again" in disaster?
"....he thought it best I not know, thought it meant I would not let go. That perhaps is my irony, for I yet to learn how."
If I was able to spell it,
Hey! I'm ahead of the game...
Where the answers still ask questions,
To: What did not remain.
"Do I need to explain the excuses I try to convert in to explanations?"
I should explain, if at least a "little" after.
When a heart breaks,
it may take more than luck to find another...
And feel those hopes again,
and try "This Time"
A 'little" harder.
"Time if given time won't go a "little" faster, unless you joke & rhyme what you learned back in high school."
Remember: John Hughes and all the stories he had offered?
Of angst ridden youths & moments that don't happen often.
"Do you want a happy ending Me?" asks The Strange Bard
that gave you yet another clue,
by finishing with....
"Hey Doc, this one's for you (2)"
The Underdog wins the race.
The heroes find their place.
What was seen through mesh and lace,
"I'll stop the world and melt..." the ice.
It doesn't have to be cold me
where you tread and roam.
"The Past doesn't have to control" me
Is what I should say when I accept I learn...
That Dr. Seuss was on to something,
and one fish plus three fish make four....
"little"escaped pinballs rolled in to the untold.
What mystery will unfold?
"You don't want to know."
*It's too crowded in here when your face blends in to anonymity,
unless someone spots a trace of what you used to look like.
*Why aren't they more yearbooks instead of pixel markings on our walls?
*Seems we are risking our memories if the electricity ever fails.
*If a picture says "a thousand words", but those words are from a song Missing Persons sang about not being wrong...
**1 fish. 2 fish. Red fish. Blue fish.
Four "little" pinballs don't finish a sentence ....
**1 Point. 2 Dots. 1 Prince. 1 Frog.
Which one is worth the kiss by dedicating a song?
*1 point: Sometimes the lyrics are the message.
*2 dots: continue one period's distinction (especially when it goes missing)
*1 Prince: is a Knight in Tarot
and
*1 Frog is Kermit that everyone loves.
"Sometimes I ask the stars up above, 'Why must I be a teenager in love?"
Because that is part of going to school. You'll eventually will have your heart ripped straight out through your answers. You'll be needing friends & school is where you find them. Unless you didn't go. That's okay, "On With The Show!" (I'll buy the popcorn if you buy admission)
"She's got two tickets to ride and she don't care that one is for an empty seat on a train ride she won't share... unless she is riding the Metro and "a soldier sits next to me". But remember it is just through the train wreck that had it derailed patiently."
"I won't sing you a song." the strange bard said "...even if it's just in my head where it could be safe."
You'll blow out your candles
My Sweet "little" 16.
You'll open up presents
even if all know where you've been.
"It's not everyday a muse comes along & in fleeting moments inspires what he had found, left behind like an unlocked diary...."
What will the strange bard say to me?
Press Play To Listen To The Clash Ask "Should I Stay or Should I Go(?)" For The Soundtrack
"Look Back at all the answers from your own history"
Her diary says...
*"Dto a ay"
*Please "____" a little while.
*I didn't mean what I meant to say.
*" ongw"
*Sometimes I'm just an awkward liar.
*I didn't say instead....
"I'm in trouble, I didn't want you (to) but it was safer.
It's "stay"(ed) with me because of where me felt it.
Me said to me to decide then."
1. Should I stay?
or
2. Should I go?"
3. She says she is in trouble.
and
4. If I stay it will be "(double)"
5. This indecision is killing me.
6. What does the strange bard speak of being freed?
7. If you add two to one, how does it add up to ...4?
8. "This isn't my concern."
9. What lesson did you learn?
10. Be careful with your words.
"Fin" (Whose?)
Time passes. It passed but it's a past with more lessons in it left.
Through perspective of how to make ends meet when tying together our stories. The message of a cause seemed mutual, and for a moment the strange bard read she was welcomed.
Then the Grasshopper changed his mind after feeling criticized, though offending him was not the intention. It just becomes a bigger mess the more me frets. And yet Me is recovering nicely.
The Answer Is The Question....
It will make sense when it has to.
