My avenue

The world appeared unhappy 

A place where I could lull 

And be outside of myself 

And see a sky so dull 

It happened that at times like this 

I’d sense something awry 

And wonder if I’d missed my time 

And ask the question; why 

But no-one wanted answers 

They knew not what to say 

And wandering so waywardly 

Could not keep harm at bay 

So what of undue harm; I ask 

Is there a magic cure 

Or just a sense of purpose 

That serves me like a lure 

It tells me; come – be yourself 

Live like there’s no tomorrow 

Find happy amongst furrowed brow 

Let joy replace your sorrow

Too smart to be a simpleton 

Too young for black and blue 

A perfume with the sweetest scent  

Walks on my avenue.
