Happiness found in day at Fair, Worry left at home. Sadness knocking on neighbour’s door As Concern’s left lying on the floor.

Oliver
Oliver strolled to the highest mountain To seek out a magical sight. It was a mountain greener than the greenest of pastures, It spoke of goodness and light. From the mountain-top Oliver saw the cliffs, Far to the west they stood. On top a four-leafed clover found By the wee man wearing a hood. A […]
Blood
An eerie sound of silence Came over the sky Standing just inside the door Not knowing what I’d find A couple lying out of bed On top of bed-sheets, I was told Strangers that had left a thread Betwixt – between the fold Was this my lot, was this my place Nothing natural ‘bout […]
