It takes an empty cage
for the last bird’s song to echo.

I don’t hear the thunder yet
But I see the black clouds forming
I don’t have a lightning rod
And I’m standing in a puddle.

The world situation grows worse and worse. There's no longer any place to hide.
Edmund black Dec 2023
I dreamt of you
Every time
I closed my eyes
Every time
The sun smiled
Every time
A flower bloomed
You were such
A beautiful dream
But sadly I’ve learnt  that
A  dream too often
Is most beautiful
When it remains a dream
What fell off the back of a lorry?
enquired Dixon of 'knock off green'

ooh,
I seen him on the telly
he was the rather jolly one
and not the laughing one
sadly
they're both gone now
and people mix them up,

that blue lamp I saw
matched the colour of my mood,
I swore
there and then to go on the
straight and narrow
and never again fall foul
of the law
or off the back of a lorry.
