Tea leaves,
Tangled sheets...
You mustn't believe a word they say.
So you've poured your entire self into a passion again,
Right to the top...
As if you were something sparkling, and you are.
Just because the music ends,
Doesn't mean you shouldn't have danced.
Broken hearts and full ones
Both express themselves with tears,
And there's no shame in that;
No crime in taking a chance.
One day, maybe soon,
When the house lights dim and the red light's on,
You'll roll a hat down your arm and steal everybody's heart
Just as if you'd never let one fall;
Just as if you were something sparkling,
And you are.

ReplyDeleteYou just broke up with Stevie Nicks?
ReplyDeleteI like the idea that tangled sheets would tell a fortune, as unreliably as tea leaves. That would make the good beginning to a novel, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteLove it. It's hard, but the risk is worth it.
ReplyDeleteI'm running out to buy the boxed CD set now! I don't want to ever forget how much her music has influenced me over the years.
ReplyDeleteP.S. the answer to the art work is Riley Rican; generally if you click on the photo you should be able to get the name of the artist, none are my own :)
