From Your Valentine (14th February 2016)

A letter sent from a prison cell

Where even hope darkness quells

Such a bright, divine light, this love

As swift and sweet as any dove

Emperors, dictators and warlords fall

While Love, that universal call

Burns on, despite brutality and fear

And we remember every year

Not the hatred

Nor the pain

Not the tyrant

But the name

Signed and sealed, the heart's final line
With love, from your Valentine

A sad valentines song....Snow Shoes

There’s a colour in the sky I can’t quite catch
A feeling of uneasy mismatch
As though my watch is running slow again
We won’t return to this point will we?

There’s a lyric that sums up this place
We’re finding so hard to face
As though we’ve walked out in the wrong clothes
A summer wedding & I’m in snow shoes

We won’t keep going will we?

This was meant to be a valentine
Sweet and light, love defined
Well maybe, some other time…

Geese fly overhead calling for home and yet
This place is so cold, I’m cold to the bone
So cold I need snow shoes on a sunny day
My watch points to another time, another way
And all the paths we walk don’t stay the same

This was meant to be a valentine
Sweet and light, love defined
Well maybe, some other time…

I won’t need my snow shoes
