Will we?

Hello my auld mucker
How have you been
Do you still visit your local
Mess around on the microphone
Karaoke fun
Bounce around like a maniac
Still drink like a fish
Or have you taken up running
Or is it time to relax

Are you still as rambunctious considerate and funny
Or are you now boring
Wider than before
Dancing on the telly
A quiz show with Bradley

You seem to be the person I would have hoped
You would have become
I could be wrong buddie
Its been so bastard long

Its been a while matey
How's the wife and weans
Does your misses care about you
As does mine
Are the kids a reflection
Of the man you have become
Hold them close buddie
Love them the most

I remember our outings
Holidays in the Sun
Or up in our country
Where the clear burns run
Where we quenched our thirst quite freely
Under the August Sun
Carrying packs on our backs
Fuck, they weighed a ton


We miss those friends we have not seen
Ideally we'd be able to see them more
But we drift away on our own breeze moving us along
Necessity of flittings
Jobs and relationships
Hiding from life or basking in glory
Steadily plodding
Or idle and worried

In the social-media world there is nowhere to hide
A tool for finding people
A way to build the road
revisit some memories share make comments
go over old times

Many faces
Many places
Each unique and some incomplete
Their reason for being missing
Is for their ears
Struggles, troubles ill at ease
No chance to visit
They won't ever be seen

While the others remain forever close
In your heart always because
Too much has happened in great companies
Where wine flowed freely
And beer by the gallon
Music enjoyed
Mental endeavours

I care for them all make no mistake
I hope I meet those folks again
Before they 'might' come to my wake
In the coldness of days
Friends are a bright light.
always around us
At least in our heads
I love all of my comrades
My buddies my pals
Those who insult me
I love even more
With them you know fella
you know where you stand

Hope we meet soon?
You illiterate buffoon!
Or maybe you're thinking
Never would be too soon.

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
