I drank the ocean,
Down to the very last drop
But I still feel empty

I stand on the sun
Blind and burning
But the shadows inside remain

I watch the stars turn
In the black of the night
And see my heart reflected
Don't look to the right or left you will miss your opportunity you've been working on to accomplish. The answers to your dreams are in front of you from the very beginning. You just have to know where to look and have faith by trusting God with wisdom.
You bloom so bright for me
in each & every season

be it the intense heat in summer
or the frosted chill of winter

then there are days when
you are the only thing that shines

you're a strength
I greatly need & admire

you're an endurance
so priceless, so vast

I long each day
to nourish you in return

love is a gift
& you're the kindest one
imaginable to me

together we are firmly rooted
& so we shall remain
for all time to come
For Mrs Timetable.
Happy 25th anniversary, my love.

jolie fleur is French for 'pretty flower.'
Was Good Friday good for you,
did you get to do what you wanted to do?

I wanted to go fishin'
lockdown
wanted to sunbathe,
lockdown
go to the park
lockdown
everything I wanted to do
is taboo,

which according to eBay is
an '****** attractive aphrodisiac'
I never knew that.
..so they're asking,
'how are you doing John?,
as if
I've been ill.

Isolation's nothing new
I was alone for years
no one asked me then
or shed any tears
anyway
I tell them,
'I'm good'
happy in lots of ways
days filled with the love
of a fine lady
could maybe do with
more walks in the park
but
I'm fine.
To be fair
there is
a forest of churches
out there,
it's just that you must not
go in person to services,

and to use a gardening term
it's a bit like pruning

but
we'll soon be back in the pews
listening to the anointed ones
pound out their views

and we'll know once again
what awful sinners we are.
