Aging Artist's Lament (Song Lyrics) Poem by Marianne Reninger
Aging Artist's Lament (Song Lyrics)
Wanna tell you a story in paper and paint
The words don't come easy, sometimes colors grow faint.
Just a simple story, it's truth to impart,
Of Life's conversation, a gift from the heart.
Wanna tell you a story in paper and paint
The words don't come easy, sometimes colors grown faint.
A visual feast, a poet's green flash,
A song of remembrance of life's mad dash.
It's a long road behind me
A short road ahead,
Wanna tell you a story of things done and said,
About reasons for living, a whisper of light,
Of life's conversations, long into the night.
Wanna tell you a story in paper and paint...(repeat first stanza)

Happy New Year Dr. Fab! Am not familiar with this compilation; could you direct me? Am in the process of creating a new poem for Ode to the Arts. Will have it in by the end of January. Marianne
Hi, Marianne, please, tell me.. what about adding this lovely 'music-poem' of yours, 'Aging Artist's Lament ', to the compilation ''Our Chains, Our Dreams''? Take care F
been trying to answer this comment for two days. Poemhunter? Anyway, tell me where to find Our Chains, Our Dreams?
Happy New Year Dr. Fab! I'm sorry, I don't know where to access Our Chains, Our Dreams? Let me know and I'm sure I'll include, Aging Artist's Lament. Am now preparing a poem for Ode to the Arts which I'll have in by the end of this month. It takes me forever to write my poems; I go over them, and over them. Wish I could be as prolific as Pamela Sinicrope or Barry Middleton is! But I paint too, my excuse! Love, Marianne
Love the song. I just listened to it on your website. I also love the artwork on your main page. 'Life's conversation...a gift from the heart.' I'll happily listen to your stories all the way to the end of my road. The song is so Appalachia. Love that too. Lots of love today. Thanks for sharing yours and for being such a supportive artist.
Pamela, I don't know how you find the time to be such a terrific poet, and also so supportive of your fellow travelers! Thanks again! marianne
Beautiful poem and loved listening it with music in the voice of Ron Bushey. We all have little reservoir of stories but only few can express like you do.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem

This strikes a chord with me. We follow many threads during the reveries of our lonely hours. It would be a shame if the natural musicality of those thought-trains could not be enshrined and crystallized into artifacts. I began writing poetry late, but it has been a consolation, because I feel the webs I spun won’t all vanish into the void.
Thanks so much Denis. I'll be sure to read some of your work too! If you haven't already, go to my website (needs updating; all my new paintings are on Pinterest) Mariannelarsenreninger.com to hear mountain balladeer, Ron Bushey sing this song. Thanks again.
