I could not retain the memory,could not but let it go.To toil was a suffering, to strive too hard to know.To stumble (once) against the wall,to stand and try again.Like one piece of the puzzle, lost,to find, but who knows when.It may seem like just a moment,a lifetime it has been.To lose, and yet, to […]

Saving grace
Who knows the courseOf yesterday – Or what the future holdsI know – but pleaseDon’t ask me how – My time cannot grow oldWho knows how longThe song you sing – Of life with windswept tearsI know – but pleaseDon’t ask me how – I’ve lived out all my yearsAnd when my hand Becomes a […]
Hannah and Holly and Jade and Jen
Hannah and Holly and Jade and Jen walked from the hills to the shore in the sun for a swim.Hannah blew bubbles and sang a tune – then the others joined in and they played until noon.They’d frolic and gambol whilst down by the sea – as the sun cracked a smileas wide as can […]

A lifetime bare
A burden in the afternoon like lightning in the dark and when the night stars disappeared the evening met with stark And yet the sunlight would return so long as hope was there and what was once a semblance of would strike a newfound care They will not speak of what had been or what […]
Peace and quiet
