As I walk upon the green grassy English summer meadow
The blue of the sky is splattered with creamy white clouds broken only by a yellow sun the colours and sounds of nature are all around me
High above the skylark sings her song.
As she harmonizes with the reed warblers melody
In the distance a cuckoo
Echo's his cry looking for a nest to borrow.
From the corner of my eye I spy a field mouse, his whiskers flicking
Breeze's tickle the leaves of the mighty oak tree
Making them giggle with joy, as squirrels and woodpeckers busy themselves
On outstretched branches.
My nostrils fill with the perfume of sweet clover and buttercups.
While sheep and cows sound their voice to neighbouring meadows
And comfort and suckle their young.
The reflection on the waters of the stream smile at me
Dragonfly's hover and then darting from side to side
Play with the movement of the flow,
Minnow's fight the waters run as they make there way up stream,
As the kingfisher looks on, the natter-jack toad crock for a mate,
And water voles nibble on reeds.

I Remember
I remember a time that was about innocence
a time when you could go to the movies for thirty-five cents
I remember
My eyes are being opened, I can now see
Once was blinded, by your apparent beauty
For so long, I couldn't see past
I was like a diamond,
In the bottom of the sea,
But I didn't sparkle,
Until you came to me.
Now, I feel so polished,
Your sunshine

CHANGE
Amid the uncertainties of earth, is change.
A moderator for the future.
A biographer of the past.
Real and inevitable.

The familiar face that was always there,
Is going to greet his latest test,
