Lyrical Verse

There was a time.

The pendulum motions to and fro,

From the clock upon the wall.

As the second ebb like grains of sand,

For one by one they fall.

Through the window of the dim lit room,

For outside, lies a world of grey,

For thoughts now turn to yester year,

That seems so far away.

With freckle on skin and golden hair,

Topped with lace like bonnet fair.

Upon a face a smile of glee,

As little feet splash in the sea.

A bucket clenched in fingers tight,

With spade to match its colours bright.

In awe and wonder of many things,

Through eyes so young that new life brings.

Final Thoughts

Oh mighty sun you rise once more,

Bringing forth a brand new day.

A shimmering causeway of golden ray’s,

To another world now seems not far away.

My bones grow weary for on the beach I sit,

Before an out stretched sea.

Caporal thoughts of the conscious mind,

Start to fade now on the breeze.

Lift me like the seagull soars,

For now ecstasy consumes the soul.

Just the calling waves now answer,

For here will I make my home?

All earthly bonds and shackle,

The rat race now has been run.

Now in the bosom of sweet nature,

For with you I m now at one.
