Poetry

And, even when I do my thing,
I ask, “On whose behalf?”
And, like a joyous mountain spring,
My spirit’s…

Although life’s never done me wrong,
I’ve fallen on my face
And had to struggle all along
To keep…

And, since the last inspection,
Time’s ravages have raged,
So, glimpsing my reflection,
I notice…

I’m in a house beside the sea,
Where foam-capped breakers pound,
And, such is life, apart from me,
There’s no…

I float my song upon the breeze
With no one here to hear,
Except an audience of trees,
Two hedgehogs…

The very sky broke down and cried,
The day you went away;
That such a one as you had died
Hurt more…

And, overnight, my sorrow
Expands to fill my head;
I look towards tomorrow
With nothing…

I wondered if you’d be so good
To step down from your cloud
But didn’t really think you would;
For that…

As much as change is limitless
And happens all the time,
The only constant’s consciousness;
As such…

It used to be it hurt –
And that not just a bit –
When I’d put on a shirt
But none…
