5,000 posts. What a long, strange trip it's been. (Last Post)

[bluesbassman]

I like to have symmetry in my life, and as I see that this will be my 5000th post in five years, it’s a good time to call it a day here on DU. Don’t really like loose ends, so I wanted to let you all know that I’m no longer posting. No complaints or issues, just pretty much said all I’ve wanted to say while I’ve been here.

There are many of you who have touched my life in a meaningful way, and I’m glad to have had the opportunity to share ideas, photos, jokes, music, sorrows, and joys with you. My account here at DU will remain open, and you can feel free to PM if you ever wish to contact me.

I wish you all the very best in your lives, and will remain always,

Your friend,
bluesbassman

1. Okay, but

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone

You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home

4. My dear bluesbassman!

What? No more posts about your family, and your wife's tribe? No more comments about my poems?

Ah, this makes me sad...

Take care, always...

Have fun...

Goodbye.

I've enjoyed your presence here. Hope things go your way. Maybe you can poke your head in every so often and say, "Hey, anyone remember me?"

Cheers!
