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.

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.

So sweet the seasons sounds,
That makes for those summer days.
Skies make for a back drop of hues of blue,
Sweet mowing grass now sheared as hay.
Upon my face the beads of perspiration,
As I wipe my fevered brow.
The days now long as I swing forth the scythe,
High above the sun beats down.
A shout breaks my concentration,
For it is Mary who is my love.
Under a large oak tree she shelters,
Truly a pure vision from above.
For with her a wicker basket,
Its contents now lay out before.
She beckons me come forward,
Asl my senses cry out for more.
In her tender arms my head gently lies,
Beneath a canopy of green.
Dappled sun light highlights her flowing hair,
For the world id trade, for these moments gleaned.

A toast to friends old and new,
As we gather round the fire.
The pack once made, in adolescent youth
By now I thought would tire
Gazing deep, into its burning flames,
Hungry tongues, lap the evening air.
As pleasure is given, by its warming glow,
Seen on all the faces there.
Through the laughter, the sound of the rolling tide,
As it crashes, along the shore.
The salted air carried on the breeze,
As my senses, crave out for more.
Beneath the waves the sun now slips,
Leaves its reflections on the sea.
A glass now rose to those we love,
In this land where we are free.

Sing softy sweet nightingale,
Your notes make a soothing lullaby.
As a mother cradles her baby,
Precious moment that will soon go by.
Ever watching and protecting,
Made out of tenderness and love.
A gift granted by the great divine,
Watched over from the world above.
As you lie there, in bliss and innocence,
Bringing pleasure to those most dear.
For now just keep on sleeping,
And know there is no fear.
