Grey and dreary, stairs going up. Lifts going down.
Long platforms,
Rails, leading to where? Leaving the town.

Coffee to order, sandwiches to eat.
Trains announced "what did he say"?
What time, what platform. Where do we meet?

People getting on, Looking for seats.
Familes getting off,
Aisles, blocked with suitcases and feet.

Following the canal, boats and ducks.
Watching the roads,
Speeding cars and trucks.

Seeing the planes land,
Then taking off, wondering where?
Probably back to their motherland.

Eventually we arrive.
To outstretched arms,
Bringing the love, that makes us alive.

Looking through the broken windows
Seeing number 10
Oh! What is wrong with it shall we start again?

Opening up the folders
Shuffling through the files
Error after error
Oh! What is wrong with it shall we start again?

Talking to cortina
Looking over the edge
What's this you have downloaded?
*** we will have start again.

Deleted this deleted that
Ticked then unticked those boxes
Turn off then turn it on
That's it we fixed it no need to start again

House party,fancy dress.
What to wear? to much stress.
This year theme sci fi.
We had steak and ale pie.

Aliens, Daleks and Dr Who
Chili and rice too.
Wine, red white and pink.
Washing up in the sink.

Now it's the time.
For auld lang syne.
Let in the new, out with the old.
Shut that door it's ****** cold.

Young ones in bed, oldies getting slow.
Another new year with no snow.
Snoring has started. Who will be last.
Morning will bring the first breakfast.

They gathered and flocked
Towards the heart which was locked
To a unnamed place
Where you could embrace

The early morning call
Could not be held by a wall
But to break the barriers
We will call the harriers

Now they have flown
And we are alone
The heart will be sealed
Till all the fields yield

To hear a Mavis sing.
Is like life beginning from a pool high in the mountain tops.
The trickling of water over stones is the sound of laughter from your heart.
The doe and fawn savor the coolness of the water. The mother and daughter as one.

The flowing water goes down the mountain arriving at the heart of a forest.
Where trees have wide leafy branches open and welcoming. Like your arms which enclose around me so two hearts beat together.

The water flows down from the forest with life. Till it reaches the pool.

Our pool.

Where we sat laughed talked and cried and sometimes only the sound of hearts beating and the Mavis singing.

You are not here anymore but that pool still fills from the mountain tops.  And I am not alone when I hear the Mavis sing.

Set them free at the break of dawn, 98  floating over the sea like sporn.

Wind swept, tossing back and forth. Serenely they swayed from sea to land, following a course.

Caught on telephones wires, trees and roofs
Some in groups, some aloof.

The boy caught blue the girl had yellow. They ran ahead of lovers who were entwined with red.

They flew with birds and floated up high until they were just a dot in the sky.

98 flew one stayed. That heart shaped one belonged to you and I.
