Ah well!

Laugh a while
Tears induce sighs
A million thoughts
Underlie
In the knowledge of memories hallowed
Of the many routes
Through life you have travelled

Easing on since you were born
School bells ring
Then they are gone
A working life
Experience gained
Many jobs
Some a pain

Socially
You fluttered
Each bar visited
The sweetest flower
Occasionally over indulgent
Sick on nectar
Rolled and stumbled

Fatherhood
A tiny baby
Grown up now
A fine young lady
Imparting wisdom
To painted on ears
You are just like your parents
A long held fear

Inside
You grip to hold on to youth
The mirror informs
A painful truth
Crows feet mar middle aged features
Visiting schools
Older than teacher

Hair escapes
From way up high
The grey ones remain old age calls
Your middle has its own postcode
Fashion sense
Out of this world

When you were young
You did imagine
A perfect life
Riches
Mansions
Reality bites
Eating those passions
Living in a semi
Full of inaction

Don't worry
Its OK
You tried your best
No way a fail
Just like any body else
Aspirations can still come true

Its never to late
I hear them say
It is if you work each day
For basic pay
Too feed the children
Pay the bills
It would take a miracle
To climb up
In this expensive
Success driven world

Aspirations
Can be but dreams
Wanting or needing so hard
You shout and scream

Fight for your life.

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind blown pine trees sing in high pitched terror Birds dart Rabbits unseen? But for borrows Buzzards soar A red kite adorned a fence post Squirrels elusive Watching Just in case I might see one race by Even in the periphery of either eye A busy head is a safe head? Freedom from worries Eating and gnawing Snatching at anything that will offset these thoughts Let th

Physgill. Watch the swiftly feeding swallow Sun outside But not it in the hollows Of the shrubs and the greenery Fresh cut lawn Hydrangea, Rose Honeysuckle aroma The fields with the peas, A sea of swaying green Moves like an ocean The sound of the trees Moved and being shaken By the summertime breeze Cattle in the drive way Pheasants shouting loudly The deer are cautious Barn owls swoop in darkness Caught by car lights Badger scurried across the road Foxes rare The game keepers gun. A lamb down a tree trunk Discovered by Rosalind Pulled out by a farmer Care for injured falconry Rescued for love Of all that was around us The freedom The tranquility The sea and the solway Not too far away The Glen with her garlic Appetizing rambling Down to the shore Where pebbles and boulders You arrive at the bay. The cave has a host A man in a smock Ninian the monk Later canonised Who sat in meditation Considering faithfulness Sheltered from harm. C

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha
