take two music students
sitting on a stone wall
outside the church
waiting for the bus
armed with a cello and viola
take two wide eyed girls
who had just discovered alfred deller
and elizabethan music
completely wrapped
(thank you Miss Pinwill)
take two giggling girls
crank starting an old Ford
take two adventurous spirits
both disappearing from each other in pursuit
of their big dreams
take those two old sheilas
at the hardware store
half a century later
with nothing to say to each other

Rall, I liked all of your interesting scenarios. My favorites were the girls crank starting the car and the sheilas having nothing to say to each other. (I had to look up 'sheila.' LOL). Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is quite a journey! I can so relate with the end. Love the title, very cleverly done. Thanks for the music.
ReplyDeleteNow this is different, Rall! I love this autobiographical (?) take on the prompt. I haven’t listened to or played Elizabethan music in decades – thank you for reminding me of it. The ending is sad.
ReplyDeleteI love this progression through the stages of a life. I identify with the old sheilas - having talked through so much of our lives, one grows quieter, content to simply Observe, with a wry twinkle in our eyes.
ReplyDeleteRall,
ReplyDeleteA fantastic journey through the lives of two friends...their experiences as adventurous spirits, each going in a different direction, only to reunite and find a void in their relationship... a great movie with the perfect musical accompaniment..
I love this! The perfect example of why no two people are ever the same, never mind a whole bunch of them. One shared experience or enthusiasm doesn't make an unbreakable bond. We are each how life forms us, and how we form life.
ReplyDeleteVery clever - I think many grow up and relationships change - have wonderful memories of a long childhood best friend - but we have nothing in common now but the past...
