He sits silent on the Greyhound
As it slowly moves Downtown
The past is close behind him
Treading on his shoes
His mind is filled with emptiness
Leaving Vancouver Blues
He sits pensive on the Greyhound
As it travels south at speed
The past is left behind him
Dirt falling from his shoes
His soul crowded with loneliness
Leaving Vancouver Blues
Some places leave a mark on you
Some people do that too
Some places you have never been
Some you want to go back to
Some people you have never seen
Some people that you miss
Some people you might think about
Your mind will not dismiss
A fleeting thought an untouched hand
No words no might have been
The past is far behind him
Like laces from his shoes
His heart is choked with nothingness
Leaving Vancouver Blues

AnElephant’s vagabond shoes
Travel far and wide seeking beauty
making sweet memories
but giving him the blues.
Cool cats often have those…
That’s the entrance fee
For living free
And marching to the sound
Of your own heart beat.
Emmy liked the greyhound;
This ride was quite a treat.

AnElephantCant compete with the imagery
That Emmy creates here with her words
He thinks it is time
To hang up his rhyme
And rewrite his blog in reverse

Oh no… without the verse
it’s all nonsense and scribbles.

AnElephantCant stop laughing
He does always try to be merry
But even with rhyme
It is far from sublime
C’est toujours nonsense and scribbles cherie

Your way with words never fails to amaze and impress me. This could be a song so easily. From your other posts I know Vancouver B.C. was a joy for you so I’m going to chalk this one up to the spirit of artistry that resides in Vancouver. It’s muse captured you too! This is great! 🙂

AnElephantCant help being delighted
To be showered in such fulsome praise
But he is sadly immune
To creating a tune
It is only a trumpet he plays

So happy you like the image.
One of Phil’s more esoteric pieces that AnElephant felt represented perfectly the First Nations culture.
And of course the ‘V’ for Vancouver.

You can take the Elephant out of Vancouver… but can’t take the Vancouver out of the Elephant! It’ll always be a part of you and a place you can return to, and I’m sure Vancouver would welcome such a fine pachyderm again and again 🙂

AnElephantCant deny it
He feels a little bit sad
But when he looks back
Things won’t seem so black
And his memories will all be glad
