As a child
I was meek and mild
But we used to play in the triggery!

It was at the end of our road
called Peacock Avenue,
Which was tree lined and really nice!
And we used to live right next to the dead centre, The cemetery

We’d bring lotsa pressys back for Mum
Like a duck and ducklings
A newt
A rather large dragon fly
Various cats
Until she said no more

She’d say take that back now
In a bit of a fluster
We didn’t know
she was really not that keen on nature!
In the dark of night the spirits roam,
They’ve been away,
Now they’ve come home ,
The candles flicker ,
And the moon is bright ,
Feathers drop from a height ,
Silhouette shapes are seen on the wall,
The spirits know just who to call!
The lit candle shines so brightly
But that’s not all
the flame stretches up so slightly

a spirit is in our midst
Who it is I do not know

Do you get the gist
The candle has been kissed

I wonder just who it is
A spirit in our midst !
Every one gets low sometimes
No one knows how another feels
Unless they can describe it easily
And handling it well it slowly goes
But for some who suffer clinically
The depression just grows panically
The mood is low, no where to go,
The cloud comes down as they drown
That’s where they need some help
To help them cope
Medication one would hope
Counselling can do
A bit for you
Then there’s CBT, light therapy
And other treatments out there
And talking to someone who will care
Patience is the key
It’s hard to be the other ones
To see them suffer
When this ghost train comes!
I used to walk for miles on the cliff side alone
Looking at the sea and stepping over adders on the pathways on my own
Watching the buzzards above me sailing on the therms
It was quintessentially very quiet with not a soul about
I wondered what lived in the bushes
Could it be the Bodmin beast because he can run and travel far
My mind would wonder out there yonder
And sometimes fear would come quite near
But the beauty of the open air and being there
Would replace my fears I’d had for years!
This was remarkable and somewhat beautiful
But alone I was missing something in my life
Humans need other humans to keep them alive
And then without looking I found my love
He made my life complete!
Silently, silently Go in peace,
Feel the beautiful air Upon your face!
Walking in a forest of woodland and green,
There’s so much beauty to be felt and seen,
Such beauty you really can not replace
Breathe, breathe in the air and embrace
A scene, Where the air is fresh and clean
in this beautiful woodland space!
I questioned why criminals aren’t punished
And this is what they say,
I was told they only have their freedom taken away ,
For we are not to judge they say
We have to respect one another
No matter what they’ve done!
Will they ever learn
To respect us too
I haven’t got a clue!
But some do!

I worked in a prison as a nurse
No it wasn’t really a curse
I showed my respect
Didn’t ask what they had done
We all got on delightfully
In fact it really was quite fun!
