When all else fails,
Look down the tunnel,
See there’s a light
Shining there
For you

When all else fails,
Search the darkness.
For there’s always
A pinpoint
Sparkling there.

When all else fails,
Peer into the gloom,
I’m sure,
There’s a spark
Of something new

When all else fails,
Turn round.
There will be,
A smile
For your day.

Two Words

For all the laughter
For all the images
For all the music
For all the days
For all the nights
There are two words

For the sunshine
For the flowers
For the rainbow
For the smiles
For the frowns
There are two words

For the inspiration
To carry on
For the support
To tackle everything
For you
There are two words

Thank you!

One Word

I have been searching all my life,
For one beautiful word;
Just one, through the corners of my mind,
Through the paperback acres,
To hardback libraries and now
That I’ve found it…
I realise it was there all along,
Simple and unassuming,
You.

Rust
Brown.
Cracked,
Chipped.
Burnt,
Orange.
Nothing
Is
Rust,
But­
Dust.

Woken from deep slumber,

Quiet rustlings underneath,

Start anew.

Tis my town
Am not proud of it;
But it is my home
Made it my own

Have found
Many memories,
Of things gone by
In this town
I call my own.

Born of iron and steel
Upon the river goes
This town of mine
I have made own

Stumbled upon things
I never owned
Down in
This town
I call my own

The crab looks forward,
But scuttles sideways.
Should I?
