Then and Now

Image
Do you remember the day before Christmas Eve 1970? Yes I do actually.  I was five years of age and living somewhere in Cardiff... perhaps at 45 Penhaved  Street, Grangetown. Anything else? I was of course excited. I mean what kid wouldn't be? But I do remember one thing that day. Go on.  Well, I was walking along, perhaps it was to the corner shop. Anyway my older brother was with me.  I then looked up into the sky and there was this strange intense light. It wasn't the sun though, as it was a very grey day. ] How did it make you feel ? A bit scared, but calm too. Yes I was very calm and scared at the same time.  It doesn't really make sense, but that's how I felt And your brother? I didn't say anything to him. And I have never spoken about it until now  .And how do you feel now?  Sometimes I'm scared, but not for me... but not for me

A Cat on the Global Wall

In a line wasting time. A cat sitting patiently on a mossy garden wall. A letter to mankind has just been sealed. The deal is beyond surreal, as a mouse escapes the swiping feline claw .

Jaffa Cakes

What's that in the sky? A giant Jaffa Cake as large as a Zeppelin... and it's coming this way . The children screaming and excited in lesson released school yards across the land. This is going to be a good day

The Human Race

Image
The Race  And some don't have a chance to tie a lace or stop to take in the view I was fast once,  but now slowing faster than I ever thought imaginable Someone to catch me if I cannot reach that distant, but nearing finishing line? But I will continue to run, even if in someone else's smaller but energetic shoes And for the human race too

The Gardener

The garden so peaceful and serene A solitary figure digging the fresh earth so true and pure Late Indian summer day gives way to darkness The garden at peace the gardener released

Life after industrialisation

Image
Sense, feel, industrial steel. Tears at the winter graveside. The mourners moving out of sight. A solitary figure in poetic motionless grief. Turn the page and look to the west. A new dream and stream of heart warming consciousness. Rest in peace.
