I noticed this photograph and hand-written piece of paper in an upstairs window of a downtown building. (Click to enlarge.)
Curious to know what the paper says, I was able to enlarge it enough to read:
"Some people come into our lives
and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to near understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same."
That's a poem by Flavia Weedn, an inspirational poet and artist. I assume the poem is connected to the band photograph by whomever put them in the window.
What a moving poem and interesting mystery to sort out. Maybe it is a love story of two star-crossed lovers who were fated to meet, fall in love and then be torn apart by his love of big bands and travel and her need for a home and security. If only they could have compromised, they would still be together.
