All this talk
of smiles on clock faces.
A kindly meet as it
steals itself.
Measured out
this vessel it only
lasts so long, better
make haste
don't
waste it all
the hours crawl, go astray.
Work it out,
erase the doubt, that
a day like today, it will never wait
don't hesitate, don't falter.
The past it greets you
like an old friend.
Lifts you up and makes you
the here
and now.
Familiar path,
the photograph, a memory.
Can't stay there though
it's time to go on
the future is calling, a second a time,
it's yours and mine to take.
The years go by
they say it flies, I believe it.
The tethers slack
won't hold time back. So
a day like today, it will never wait
don't hesitate, don't falter.

Over The Wall

Over the wall: where our sights are clearer.
Over the wall: all the mysteries are nothing.
Over the wall: could you find yourself?
How could we know this worlds like yours?
What is the worth in searching for more?
Over the wall: where we're all connected. One.
Over the wall: directed by deprivate or medicate.
Over the wall: tell me there's an art in letting go.
Over the wall: there's no more boundary.
How could we know this world's like yours?
I've limited senses and no guide.
A brain in a black out box is I.
What is the worth in searching for more?

The world's a course to tread through sure.
A taken hand and lessons more.
Looking up from on all fours.
Through a childs eyes.
Through a childs eyes.
It's never been like this.
The best tutor he listens.
I could show you what you miss.
Through these childs eyes.
Through a childs eyes.
In your arms,
I could stay.
I need you.
Carry me. Lead the way.
We can't always see like for like.
And for now that's my right.
No idea is out in my mind.
Through these childs eyes.
Through a childs eyes.
In your arms,
I could stay.
I need you.
Needing me. Lead the way.

We met in Autumn.
The sky was frozen, grey.
The bus was late again so
we spoke about the day
We both wrote stories,
and explored our new town.
We were both strangers
to each other and the place.
In time we learn so much.
Little seeds they grow
and bloom.
And in the spring time,
from the sun shyed away.
Looking back on the winter
fondly, with its glow.
Wrapped up in scarves that
sat so close to our throats.
Voices muffled in the cold
air. Breath on show
The constant is us.
Always here.
Always will.
