like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel
like a snowball down a mountain
or a carnival balloon
like a carousel that's turning
running rings around the moon
like a clock whose hands are sweeping
past the minutes of its face
and the world is like an apple
whirling silently in space
like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind !
like a tunnel that you follow
to a tunnel of its own
down a hollow to a cavern
where the sun has never shone,
like a door that keeps revolving
in a half forgotten dream,
or the ripples from a pebble
someone tosses in a stream
like a clock whose hands are sweeping ....
keys that jingle in your pocket
words that jangle in your head
why did summer go so quickly ?
was it something that you said ?
lovers walk along a shore
and leave their footprints in the sand
is the sound of distant drumming
just the fingers of your hand ?
pictures hanging in a hallway
and the fragment of this song
half remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong ?
he: when you knew
that it was over
you were suddenly aware
that the autumn leaves were turning
to the color
of her hair !
she: when you knew
that it was over
in the autumn of goodbyes
for a moment
you could not recall the color
of his eyes !
like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or begining
on an ever spinning reel
as the images unwind
like the circles
that you find
in the windmills of your mind !
Dusty Springfield, born Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien (London, April 16, 1939 – Henley-on-Thames, March 2, 1999), was a British singer whose impact on the history of British fashion and popular music in the 20th century is comparable to that of Mina in Italy or Dalida in France. Mary was the second daughter of Gerard and Catherine (Kay) O'Brien, Irish immigrants settled in one of the working-class neighborhoods on the north outskirts of London. She grew up in the suburb of Ealing and already as a child earned the nickname Dusty for her tomboyish attitude. She inherited her passion for music from her maternal grandfather, who encouraged her to listen to authors like George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Glenn Miller. Her musical role model as a girl was Peggy Lee. In 1958 she left school and, responding to an advertisement in a newspaper, joined the Lana Sisters group. Thanks to this experience, she learned vocal harmony and stage work. In 1960 she began her solo career under the stage name Dusty Springfield, achieving immediate success with songs like "I Only Want to Be with You" and "Stay Awhile". Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she gained international fame thanks to albums like "Dusty in Memphis" (1969), considered a masterpiece of British soul. Her powerful voice, her elegant style, and her ability to interpret pop, soul, and rhythm and blues songs with great sensitivity made her one of the most admired artists of her generation. Dusty Springfield was also a pioneer for women in music, challenging gender norms and achieving lasting success despite the difficulties of the music world.
