That single point in time
Remember?
The one that defined us
Setting the course of our futures
If you could
Would you change it?
Might things have been better?
Or Just different?
If that particular sleeping dog
Was wakened

Balance
Does heartache rot the soul
As it turns emotions raw
Can laughter make you whole
Helping spirits soar
If balance can be found
Both sadness and some joy
Your world will still go round
As part of the hoi polloi
Things to be done on a mobile phone
Speak to someone on the other side of the planet….
Who is 12 hours into your future or past.
Keep abreast of the latest world news and celebrity gossip….
From the top of a moving bus.
Know the latest ill-considered thought of a world leader….
Whilst sitting on the loo.
Find and buy almost anything….
Including things you can’t afford,
Encounter racist/sexist bigotry….
In your own living room.
Lose a fortune on 24/7 gaming sites….
Under the influence of alcohol.
Know which celestial objects are overhead….
By day or through cloudy skies.
Find a route to an unfamiliar destination….
Without knowing which street you are on.
Gain or drop friends on social networking sites….
Regretting it the next day.
Look up the definition of unknown words….
Without needing to know how to spell them.
Deny yourself the freedom to switch off….
In case you miss something.
Furry Friend
A cat is a friend for life
Maybe more than a husband or wife
When you are low, it seems to know
Helping you smile and be rid of your strife
Just remember to treat it well
That way it may stay for a spell
But if you once treat it mean, it soon won’t be seen
It’ll find somewhere else to dwell
A Painful Conversation
What?
Oh, it’s you, you’re back.
When did you go, it doesn’t seem long?
How long are you staying this time?
OK, I guess it’s not much of a welcome but…….
I know no-one else is complaining, but I’m not them.
They don’t have to put up with your moods.
Wouldn’t you rather be somewhere else?
Why do you always have to show up in the middle of the night?
I need to sleep, but you keep interrupting.
Yes, I’ve already taken a tablet.
Never mind, you just don’t understand; it’s all about you.
If you’re staying, I’m going to turn over and try to ignore you.
What?
Feedback
via Is anyone out there, don’t be so shy
Read more of my blogs, do give them a try
Some might goad, others make you cry
But if they make you think, you’ll know why.
The New Order
via
What can make the whole world tremble?
Perhaps politicians who aren’t so gentle
Fuelling fears, not being humble
Passing edicts, quite fundamental
Childbirth
Nine months gone, labour begun
Pain and panting through gritted teeth
Pushing, urging, willing, wanting
Baby from its muscled sheath
A boy, a girl, it doesn’t matter
But let it be healthy, ready for life
Bear down now, it’s nearly here
Comforting words, from the midwife
One more push, I can see the head
Arms and shoulders make their way through
Baby’s out, crying for mummy
Wait just a second, we’ll pass him to you
A magical moment, as mum takes the child
Wrapped in a blanket, content as can be
Mother and son begin a new journey
Held to the breast, lovingly
Perfume Memory
via My mother left home when I was ten
I often think back to then
She ran away for a fresh start
Leaving us kids with a broken heart
The days slowed down, but I don’t recall
Anything else that summer at all
Except oft smelling, in tearful lament
A dress, because, it held her scent
Practise
Life’s no rehearsal
That’s what they say
So enjoy life together
Each precious day
Share common pleasures
Work as a pair
Don’t waste a moment
Laugh without care
For soon it’ll be over
The time will have come
With no final chances
For any more fun
But know that you’re lucky
To hold someone dear
And don’t practise now
For when they’re not there.
