It's funny how nostalgia can grab ahold of us. It's funny how this nostalgia can grab a hold of me, considering I was not around in the 1940's.
The haven that Evelyn has found elicits these same nostalgic feelings; thoughts of another era. It makes me think of several words: vintage, charm, rustic...
Past days,
Better days-
The grass was greener
Far before us.
That era,
Never dearer-
To have lived your time
That'd've been nice.
Swing and sway,
Dance and play-
Life was simpler
In your era.
Dream,
Oh! Dream-
I live in my mind
Conjuring the enchantment of a time gone by.
Ah, Swing... the music of your grandparents era. Those beautiful romantic melodies are intoxicating and seem to have the power to transport you back to a simpler, more romantic time.
ReplyDeletePerhaps that is the desire: something simpler?!
