Sion Barry's World

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

  Good to be back… it’s been a while

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 .

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 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 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
