Poetry Friday: All Things Must Pass

Dear friends, when I'm feeling down I often turn to an old friend to help me settle my worries: George Harrison, fellow Pisces and my very favorite member of the Beatles.My favorite albums are Let It Roll, Songs of George Harrison and Concert for George.For Poetry Friday, I'm sharing one of George Harrison's solo songs. The news out of Washington, DC and California has been so stressful. I've been sitting with the message of these lyrics today."All Things Must Pass"George HarrisonSunrise doesn't last all morningA cloudburst doesn't last all daySeems my love is upAnd has left you with no warningBut it's not always goingTo be this greyAll things must passAll things must pass awaySunset doesn't last all eveningA mind can blow those clouds awayAfter all this my love is upAnd must be leavingBut it's not always goingTo be this greyAll things must passAll things must pass awayAll things must passNone of life's strings can lastSo I must be on my wayAnd face another dayRead the rest here.If you've never seen Martin Scorcese's documentary about George Harrison's life, Living in the Material World, it is phenomenal. Here is George's demo for the song, from Scorcese's film.One more George recommendation! My favorite biography of George Harrison is HERE COMES THE SUN: The Spiritual and Musical Journey of George Harrison. Find it on Amazon.Who is your favorite Beatle? And whose music is like a good friend holding your hand when you're feeling down?
