Don't let Bob Dylan break your heart.
Don't let the past tear you apart.
Our lives are framed,
Not made, by art.
Don't let Bob Dylan break your heart.
It's not stepping stones alone
That call to you,
All the dead you've left
Still follow you.
Your stone was rolling from the start,
In changing times we play our part,
And all that come
Must soon depart.
Don't let Bob Dylan break your heart.
In posting this fresh-written poem I'd like to state that it is in no way a criticism of or a comment upon Bob Dylan himself. Its' inspiration was instead the impulse to melancholy nostalgia brought on by the hearing of emblematic songs of the "old days", AKA the Golden Age. And no one wrote more emblematic songs then than Bob Dylan! Some of you out there might quibble and bring up Lennon & McCartney, but this is my blog and that's my view. That's what the comment button below is for. How about it, what songs set off your nostalgia circuits, and how do you feel about that?
