Bridge across the sky

Thousands of miles away

Across so so many seas

Where are your thoughts at this moment


Can you stop, just now

Think of this place

Across so so many seas


Take a moment

A small mobile meditation

Close your eyes

Bridge across the sky


Thousands of miles away

Your muse, your love, your tree

Across so so many seas


Did you feel the fleeting thought

Grasp that visualisation flash

Across so so many seas


Less than separate minds

In splitting seconds bind

Touching skins together fly, bridge across the sky


Thousands of miles away

Your friend, your love, your free

Across so so many seas


Caught that synapse strobing

Mind depths you were probing

Together, across so so many seas


Now there’s intermingling

Souls engaged, lattice leaves, layers lingering

Open your eyes; you’ve bridged across the skies

Forlorn four leaf clover

Daisy chain, one more refrain

Forlorn four leaf clover


Buttercup, something’s coming up

Sojourn, among the pampas


Herb garden, Cardigan bay

Mourn, a summer’s lover’s passing


Cabbage patch, locks off the latch

Storm brewing, crow clouds in the sky


Potato fields, his torch she wields

Warm autumn’s harvest festival

Silver threads upon the Rockies

Crumbled stone

Jumbled civilisation


Lemon grass among the poppies

Sandstone slate and marble


Worry beads, windblown seeds

Fish, bird, goat, hashish


Crumbled tome

Jumbled imagination


Silver threads upon the Rockies

Image, vision, thoughtless sparkle


Nervous weeds, unknown creeds

Idea, gift, wrath, blessing, pathways

Strummer

Oh Grecian summer

Began with yon Joe Strummer

His Spanish ways, oh Spanish days

Clash boys clashed from London to Andalusia


Now he’s passed away

His Mescalano’s have had their day

He’s moved right on, he’s left his all

The back catalogue of a music lover

Surest love

It is her surest love

That is what she’s surest of

He’s home to stay

Never gonna go away

Her sad refrain

He’ll soon be back again


And surest love

What are those words you say

You were singing yesterday

Never gonna go away

Then that railway train

Will he ever be back again


Hear that mellow blow

From the horn and the piccolo

Surely, she’s lost her surest love

Downtown now he’s a gigolo

With her he’s left his lust-filled stain

As if forever, oh will he be back again


She mourns the loss

On this isle of Kos

She’ll paint again

Lover’s love she will abstain, abstain

She will still feel the pain

Ever will he, ever be back again


The boats have sailed

He’s left no mail

His muse and his minder

He’s off across the seas to find her

Remind her of the heroes he has slain

Never, not ever, never to be back there again
