I Never Cared For The Sound of Being Alone by skipt07

I Never Cared For The Sound of Being Alone

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
"I am"... I said
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... I said ~ Neil Diamond
I found these footprints in the snow made by a man and his best friend.
"I think, therefore, I am"! A book by Peter Weissman!
Cant quite work out the dogs footsteps - is he carrying a stick, do you think?

@maggiemae - I believe they are marks made by its feet dragging in the snow much like the drag marks behind the man's foot prints.

Beautiful capture! Man was not made to be alone.

@maggiemae - Actually those words, "I think therefore I am" were written by RenΓ© Descartes who was dubbed The Father of Modern Philosophy.

My mistake, thanks Skip! We were talking about philosophers at Book Club and I couldn't quite remember.

@anazad511 - Thank you so much for the "Wow" and your wonderful comment Ana!

@mittens - Thank you very much Marylin! I found a video of a concert, on You Tube, Neil Diamond did for the BBC many years ago. He was young and handsome and it brought back many memories.

@lynnb - Thank you Lynn! My mother loved Neil Diamond so I got to hear him a lot growing up. Which I didn't mind because I liked his music too. Two of her very best favorites were, Cracklin' Rosie" and "I am I Said".

@luvmynynix - Thank you so much Laurie for the "Awwww" and fav"

@danette - I hope this helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxDyXK93o6g
I know Neil wrote most if not all of his songs. I saw this You Tube video of him performing this song in concert and I think you can see his feelings of what brought him to write this song coming out on his face. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCcaP5z4xbg

@kerristephens - Thank you Kerri!

Perfect lyrics for your photo--the footprints look good, too! My dog (Ruby) and I had to stick to the snow piles and avoid the big areas of squishy mud--ack...
