And there it was
So big
And grey
It’s bushy tail
Up high
Did sway

It seems inquisitive
As it pops it’s head over the wall
Looking around
Before running up and down
And picking bits up
From the ground

The window opens
To say hello
It runs away
In fear
Poor thing

It doesn’t realise
We are it’s friend

We walked
Past slate
And through a gate
And some woods

Around a corner
And a fear
Surrounded me
To see

A cave
So dark
So bleak
And water
Dripping slowly

My head did bow
As I entered
The dark Dismal enclosure

And my heart
Raced
With sheer fear
Of danger

But the light soon shone
In a distance
I wanted
To run

An opening
Of beauty
Within a cavern
Of such age

A wonder
In sight
Viewing the height of
An amazing rock
formation
That left
Me in ore

A destination
I wouldn’t
Have seen
If my fear had
Redeemed

We ventured out
The grass so green
The sun so hot
And flowers a dream

The gentle walk
Towards a scene
As we gasp
It’s like a dream

A lake so wide
Yet calm
As boats bob up and down
Freely in the water
Awaiting their master

The ducks floating
Like magic
Drifting along
With a paddle underneath

Who knows what their thinking
Is it time to eat

Time drifts by
Like floating driftwood
calmness
And beauty
Like no other

How lucky
We are

We sit
We wait
Until they open the gate,
The doors are locked
Our lives have been stopped

So what are we waiting for
A change in direction
Some hope
That we can believe

More than
A fish that is swimming
Without fins
What can we believe

Will life begin
And start again
Less worry
About money

What are we waiting for
Who is going to make a change
And open up the flood gates

That will take us on a track
One that might be good
Or one that might
Be bad

Who will lead our country
Back to strength
Giving us some
Solidarity
So we can march forward
Again

It may feel strange
In the world right now
And yes it is different
From other years gone by

But let’s sit still
And enjoy a time
Where the traffic
Has been stopped
And the hastle of waiting
In traffic jams
And other hells
Filled with anxiety
Has gone for a time

Pollution of planes
Has dispersed
How does it feel
What do you think

The air is cleaner
And time
Has been given back
to the whole planet
As were are all  sat

A stillness like no other
A calm
And peace
This is what nature
Ordered
The planet
Released

Hello I can see you
Sat on the wall
And looking very much alone
Hello how are you

The man looked sad
Hello again
Hoping the man would see my smile
And a greeting that might inspire
Some feeling
That he’s not alone

Hello yes I’m here
And wanting to ask
How are you today
I sincerely want to ask

A smile on his face
Lit up the world
A moment in time is all Took

Love is so deep
So meaningful
Don’t blink
It can carry you
When you need a lift

Love is

Love is so many things
A depth that only you can feel
And give to one
So privileged

Love is

In your heart it feels so deep
One should give
So more can keep the love that runs
And powers a storm

Love is

A child that’s born
A love as a parent for life
Is meant
A heartfelt life that’s spent

Love is

So many things  

Love is
