There was the strong hint of melancholy and wistfulness in their words. That got me to thinking for a good part of the day, what makes you melancholy...what makes you catch you breath, and a fills you with an indescribable sense of ...something....for what,you just aren't quite sure.
I have to admit I am a sentimental sap. Old photographs, old songs, and old friends make me melancholy.... old playgrounds, a country school, the sound of pans clanging in the early morning and the sound of frying bacon (of all things) makes me melancholy. Okay I really don't have a sentiment for pork...just reminds me over overnight visits as a child at my grandmother's.
Windmills....old wooden windmills...in pastures that are empty 'cept for the brushy tufts of grass. They make me melancholy...
Driving home in the evening while the sun is setting and coloring the sky with reds and purples and oranges (that should clash but the colors don't). When all things in my part of the world are slowing down, and the road is mostly empty. I drive, and drive, for miles... and I think, I could keep driving, for miles and miles.
It makes me melancholy.....
even the word "melancholy" does........if that makes sense.
and thinking of my friend,... that got me to thinking in the first place,...makes me melancholy.
