Sunshine on my face Grass underneath my feet I just want to be pure People search for a better way I just hope Hope that my nerves won't be the death of me

Coloured Jim in the city with Carol.
A light tea before her reading so I can focus on her words seek out their meaning refrain her rhythms define her rhymes listen for her killer lines. A music too rich to revise.

Listening to Carol Ann Duffy
Silent night, Wretched night. Keep me company 'Til morning light. Let the families have their fun, Whilst I stay here and come undone. I do not sleep in peace tonight. I do not sleep in peace.

A Loner's Christmas Carol
Far in this den of flaring links With jocund ships and dismal streets, You know by heart those piled up heaps Of low-browed, beetling roofs. But for the miracles in store, You would have felt a little sore. As chilly bareness falls for snow To make some fine excuse. Although the feeble candle-light Has latent echo, once you sigh For dreary days, it's still alright To be bereft of drip. It changes tune, indeed. Your tune. The one ghost hummed in gleaming room. The one that fits ones homeward blue. The substitute for gift. At length the sudden knock you hear, For all delight, and thrill, and cheer, You'd hardly ***** with fingertip For long-deserted door. With dark brown curls and sparkling eyes You meet a stranger, for demise Is yet to catch you by surprise With writing on a stone. Too late to have your fate reversed, Dream dwindles down into bedpost, And pale, as though you've seen a ghost, You scramble out of bed. Mist loiters near the stirring cold- It's all the wonders to behold. The big prize turkey have been sold In store around the bend.

A tune for a winter night.
What is Peace? I ask my Soul. Is it the absence of conflict, Is it perfection? The answer comes that it is not The conflict remains But harmony prevails. All need not be the same Create a salad Not a stew. The beauty of our Earth experience Is in bringing distant points together, Creating beauty, music, art and love. It takes more than one To create a symphony. It takes more than one to love. And in loving all our distinctive and different selves, The One that we become Becomes Divine. Blessings of Peace, Carol, 2011

Peace
COVID's around the Christmas tree And it seems it will not stop Mists of it hangs where you will breath Every droplet goes ker-plop COVID's around the Christmas tree Sets the Christmas spiraling Later will die some family As the COVID does it's thing You will get an awful mental feeling when you hear Voices wailing, melancholy Death abounds from human folly COVID's around the Christmas tree Some will die this holiday Everyone's gaspin' eerily In the new pandemic way You will get an awful mental feeling when you hear Voices wailing, melancholy Death abounds from human folly COVID's around the Christmas tree So we'll ZOOM this holiday Everyone dancin' merrily In the new-pan-dem-ic waaaaaaaaayyyyyy

COVID's around the Christmas tree (Rockin' around the Christmas tree song re-write)
Slay me with a sword forged with love. The heart you will steal was always yours. The blood that will spew carols your name. And the life that comes out will occupy your heart's estate.
