I can tell you that Merle was absolutely the greatest song writer, story teller, singer of the last 50 years! I have never felt this way about a singer!

She was too sick to talk by then, but per her request, her son didn't tell me. Today I got the news she is gone. Her son did tell me she loved me and liked the song. Thanks, Merle, for telling her what I couldn't.

    Listening to the wind
    Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend
    Wishing you and I were close again
    Listening to the wind
    Listening to the breeze
    As it whispers through the poplar trees
    Do you think of me way back then?
    Do you listen to the wind?
    Listening to the night
    Wishing we could hold and squeeze each other tight
    I can almost hear the stars so bright
    Do you listen to the night?
    Listening to the sound
    Of a highway through some distant town
    I can almost hear the pale moon light
    Do you listen to the night?
    ****************
    Listening to my mind
    Searching through my thoughts for the perfect life
    Using tricks and telepathy at times
    Do you listen to your mind?
    Listening to the breeze
    As it whispers through the poplar trees
    Wishing you and I were close again
    Just listening to the wind.....

      I suppose any memory that can so easily be conjured out of thin air, good or bad, is probably one worth keeping whether to teach us, heal us, remind us of roads we have slready traveled and dont want to go back down, and most importantly, at least for me, it can remind us that even where there is loss, the pain only exists because we were lucky enough to have known something beautiful enough in our lifetime to grieve for it... to me that in itself is an admission that that sort of beauty exists in life. Which is reason enough for me to carry on and seek out new beauty. I suppose I am with the old saying it is better to hurt than feel nothing at all... I wouldn't trade it, loss has taught me how to live, and reminded me how fragile and fleeting people and things we love can be... love with all you have and dont go out with regret...
