Sion Barry's World

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

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.

When I ran it was at pace, to the cornershop and the human race Back in time, always free, to sit and wonder in simple harmony I can still see you if you not me; memories still hold a treasured place With grace and dignity I will go to that other place .

Just ate an apple as quick as a flash From which tree it came I cannot tell But I do declare it was not a pear Another tomorrow? Well one cannot tel l

BREAKFAST: Was up at 6:20am, then downstairs, quickly followed by Isabella, who insisted on Rice Krispies with organic semi-skimmed milk .I had Cornflakes. Isabella then wanted some natural Greek yoghurt. I had removed the lid, but Mrs B then informed me it was out of date! A spoonful had been consumed. Don't really buy into the sell by date thing, but apparently it was at least a week out! Walk to Work: Not posted in this format for several years. Have recently mo ved from our humble abode in Canton, Cardiff, to about a mile away in Llandaff. Anyway, same concept in that I walk to work. Drizzle was in the air. It was down Pencisely Road and then at the top of Cathedral Road I made my way into Pontcanna Fields. A few early joggers around. Then over the pedestrian bridge and through the grounds of Cardiff Castle. It was then down the river way walk and into my venue of income generation. LUNCH 1 banana 4 ham sandwiches on brown bread. Random Thought : I want to think again inside t...

J ust in time for my arithmetic exam. How can  we live forever? I climbed as high as I could... I surprised myself as I never thought I could . When I dream of you, it will never be a dream, but an equation devoid of answer . The tourist bus goes around and around this city; smiling faces looking out, weighed down with an array of electronic gadgetry. "The exam has finished". It's time to rest my weary head and sleep and move along as we smile and meet on the top deck of that magical bus.

You take the stairs, I'll take the lift. You still driving a car and playing a bass guitar? Oh I get it you want some money. Okay pal take the whole lot. Go on don't be shy there's 600 bucks in here... just take it... Jesus Christ man just take the money! You can always take the boat back to the hotel, there's one every 10 minutes. Just enjoy the pastry, you've worked really hard today. Well done and just relax. I've been in this elevator for hours. I want to get out. Time to scream!

Swirling leaves on a winter wind, like cats chasing tails Melancholic green park benches looking on as a solitary soul walks on.

There is a river running through here, sweeping past wondrous trees with golden leaves. Take me home, take me home. There is a light that shines so true and secure. Time to rest , time to rest The darkness holds no fear, the pain I no longer feel. Say farewell, but don't despair. I will be there, I will be there.

Are you looking at me? Can you hear me? Have you any idea, perhaps you don't know I'm near, or even here? I'm listening to music as you move out of sight, whistling obliviously and turning the corner at the last house in a row of contented terraces houses. You know what? I'm going the other way towards the open fields, which I guess will not be green for much longer. but it's the right, yes the right way.

My daughter's first day at school today. Location: St Mary's RC School in Canton. Cardiff. There are around seven Polish children too. My father started there I guess just before the end of WW2. She did very well... all grown up .

Dreamt the other night of noises from the attic. Had to explore, with my wife and daugther below very scared, (and so was I). I peered around to find a single bed to my left and then, as I turned to my right, a much larger bed with a huge man inside. He was quick to his feet and moving towards me. This was no polite social call. My wife had to wake me as I was punching the wardrobe.
