The backbone of this giving Isle

from marshy fen to firth of forth,

has soured the face of many a smile

beneath the crown that ventured north.

Then Westward too, the Kingdom torn

across a Wilding Sea,

its Children poor, to paupers born

that bore the likes of you and me.

With baubles traded, power for land

The Lords abused their folk the same,

to sit opp...

To see a world in a coffee cup

and a hell inside a TV screen,

then still to rise and take a sup

and blink away the horror seen.

A memory flashed upon a mind

staunched by bitter pill,

to make a man and mankind blind

cannot the memory kill.

The slave fed by his master’s hand

is starved and saved the same,

he lives upon a lesser land

with no choice but ...

to higher ground for my safety.

Then when they’re done I’m left again

And oh the work, it brings me down

exhausted, humbled to the ground.

simple change that has nothing to do with the things

that we spend our time doing,...

I wonder why it goes.

I deny it,

try to fight it

against the way it flows.

I ignore it,

I deplore it,

try to push it far away.

But I fear it,

I'm too near it

and it haunts me every day.

For circling in the skies are things

I wish I could disguise,

that melt to crystal teardrops

and it makes me realize -

that I’m p...

Change is the most natural part of life 

The summer cannot last forever 
I have learned simply to never say never 

I change my mind 
Perspectives and feelings move with time 

Nothing is certain 

Before you know it, it is Autumn 
and your leaves are turning into shades of gold 

To begin something new you must let go of the old 
It is okay to fall

Winter may be harder and it wi...
