While my guitar gently weeps: George Harrison

I look at you all see the love there that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know why nobody told you
how to unfold you love
I don’t know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it’s turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

 

I heard this today and it brought back a rush of memory. And faces and places and feelings long gone but never finished with.  Reanimation everywhere. Always a favourite Beatle this is a humane song and a truly enduring hymn to compassion. It resonates! Spatial time perhaps and no real separations? Just pauses in tenderness?
