Beirut

Old feelings. Attached to old thoughts and old memories. Old adventures and good old mornings, long mornings in peace and warmth. Old comfort for an old love. Old friend and an old laughter, old hugs and old moments. Old and ageless certainty.
New vacancy. New sunshine. New uncertainty and new faces. Old rain and old hills. New mountains. New buildings. Old memories. New pain for old feelings. Old pain for new feelings. New books. New banality. New hope. New clarity for old desires. New reality. Old body. Old face. Old love. Old friends. New work. New bodies. New trust. New letting go. Old mornings. Old battle. New direction.

New sun.
New smiles.
New loves.
New stories.
New food.
New names.
New ideas.
New sky.
New beauty.
New future.
Old music.
New morning.
Old self.
Old abuse.
Old regret.
Old thoughts.
New future.
Old self.
New friends.
Old self.
New world.
Old search. The oldest search.

I love Beirut--one of my absolute favorites. Except last night I heard one his newer RealPeople songs on a car commercial. Humph.
