The others were untrue,
But when it came to lovin you
I'd spend my whole life with you
Cause you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
Brenda Holloway, Patrice Holloway, Frank Wilson and Berry Gordy, You've Made Me So Very Happy

Wakening from the dreaming forest there, the hazel-sprig
sang under my tongue, its drifting fragrance
climbed up through my conscious mind

as if suddenly the roots I had left behind
cried out to me, the land I had lost with my childhood
and I stopped, wounded by the wandering scent.
Pablo Neruda, Lost In The Forest

Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world looking for that woman girl
Lyrics by Stephen Stills, Southern Cross

Even now,
You've slipped into my mind, unannounced.
Once again, your absence plagues me,
And I attain more symptoms of love sickness.
I think of how much nicer this serene scene
Would be with you, next to me on this bench.
Adrian, Lengthening Cracks

You've Made Me So Very Happy, Blood, Sweat and Tears

Southern Cross, Crosby Stills and Nash

John, as always the choice of your quotes and music link(s) are well chosen. I like to say however, that I initially thought that this perfectly manipulated photograph probably wouldn't need no quotes. The intriguing character of your creation did me suppose that it would stimulate my brain to create its own story . I did an attempt, but the poor result can't be compared with the quotes in your narrative, 😜 !

So, perfectly done!

The trees seem to be dancing with memories of the wind John. Superior treatment. It reminds me of some of your other shots from Easy Walker Park in Mt. Sterling, KY.
I feel there will be dancing in the park when she arrives. Great coloring.
Another super production from Crypto Productions.
Quotes, art and music makes for a triumphant presentation.

Lovely words John...In my 'earlier' days...I would have enjoyed a wee snooze on that bench...But now...my old bones need a more softer surface to lie one.. 🙄😏😋

Such a lovely posting.
