Lulled by gentle, pulsing beat,
Away from gaudy, noisome life...

Drowsy water hangs suspended,
Reluctant to fall...

Underneath the plastic smiles,
Designer labels and the miles...

A hole it was, a rabbit hole,
So small and neat and round...

So here I am again and now I know that I have...
To keep the demons held in check...

Alone it has no purpose.
Crouched there under the lamp in wait...

Muscles balk, daring to challenge
the mind that forces them on...

For ever in my heart you’ll dwell
a gentle presence, ever near...

A walk,
Through lonely lanes in quiet solitude...

Today I caught my mind as it was
thinking of the past...

Sitting in the sun she drowses,
raising her face to bathe in the mid day heat...

Autumn’s palette
spreads out before me...
