What’s in a name

Law Common Road

On the way

To Cartworth Moor

Past the heather clad

Lands of the reservoir

Past the heathen led

Shooting grounds


Law Common Road

What does it mean

Is it a law

Which marks this as the way

To common ground

Not a place

To be shot at

Infused With Love

Into the imaginary

As if the elbow on the knee

Would help the thoughts

To first bring the smile

Followed by a beautiful stirring

Of the heart

The spirit and the soul


How many have fallen away

How many have stayed the course

Yet this one room; home

As it will have been called before


Away from the imagination

As if the balls of the feet

Would follow the pathway

To first say thanks for the smile

Followed by beauty recurring

In the soul

The spirit and the heart

Getting Going

Shrouded by the mist of the green

The curious case

Of parcels arriving

Such are the wonders of rising early


In the light of the soft glow

Overheard communications

Each and every which way

Acknowledge the beauty of keeping in touch


There is a box in the shed

With a name I ought to know

I will go investigate shortly

But for now I aim to simply sit


Sit in that new found freedom

Not known for quite a long while

Such is this love of the time

To appreciate the arrival of morning

Why, Or WhyWhinge

You may soon be rising

You may have risen already

Either way let us hope

Your day welcomes you

With open arms


I myself am closing down

Listening to dark time music

Catching me with its chasms


You may soon be leaving

You may have left already

This or that, let it be

Soul and spirit

Activate mind and body


This moving-on lark

It is a tiresome old affair

Whichever way I look at it
