Just then, in that absolute moment, I was there again. It moved over me and across me, caught me, completely; the sea, the island, the beach, the airport runway. Oh boy wouldn’t it be great to turn them on and off, to take control.
Just the waking moments to begin with, you can keep the dreams for now; but hey, they too are on the agenda. Before the dead, or the dying or the horrors that we can't imagine. So let's get back to our own stuff, our own immersions to gather
The loneliness of unchosen solitude
Concrete where once there was meadow
Only my time can I explain and even that
Is by no means certain in the storytelling
My mother called her time alone contentment
After a hard, physically tough, and demanding life
I hear the wind through the grasses
I am certain of the leaves falling from their trees
You ask me if I am ok on my own all day
I wonder, for it is all I can, how then will it be for you
Shadows on the paper, finest of sun scrambled hair. Nevertheless echoes on the vision, snowflakes on the screen beware. Shadows on the portrait, finest touch ever seen. Nevertheless echoes on the sound, ragamuffins on the green.
Nowhere else to go, no movement ahead or behind. Nevertheless in our mind travel is untroubled, don't you find. Nowhere to settle, no stillness, no rest, no firmament in the fiction. Nevertheless all of this without a sign of outward contradiction.
Nowhere for expression, no outlet, no physical demonstration to see. Nevertheless we could do it if we wanted, couldn't we, couldn't we. Nowhere else to go, no movement above or below. Nevertheless we are here and always and forever or so.
Half in many, half in few
Halfway sent the soldiers knew
We'll talk of lies, we'll talk of truth
We'll walk all over our unheard youth
Half in danger, half in doubt
Halfway arms they held them out
We’ll talk of liberty, we'll talk of honour
We'll walk all over the fallen Madonna
Half in stillness, half in style
Halfway art on murder mile
We'll talk of society, we'll talk of class
We'll walk all over the wayward lass
Half in brother, half in son
Halfway death for everyone
We'll talk of poverty, we'll talk of creed
We'll walk all over those who do not read
Half in justice, half in retribution
Halfway rumours court confusion
We'll talk of courage, we'll talk of pride
We'll walk all over should you deride
Half in peace, half in reconciliation
Halfway long walk from alienation
We'll talk of culture, we'll talk of history
We'll walk all over now where's the mystery
We'll half talk of strength
We'll half talk of power
We'll walk halfway
All over you cometh the hour
We'll talk of lies, we'll talk of truth
We'll walk all over our unheard youth
Well talk of liberty, we'll talk of honour
We'll walk all over the fallen Madonna
We'll talk of society, we'll talk of class
We'll walk all over the wayward lass
We'll talk of poverty, we'll talk of creed
We'll walk all over those who do not read
We'll talk of courage, we'll talk of pride
We'll walk all over should you deride
We'll talk of culture, we'll talk of history
We'll walk all over now where's the mystery
We'll talk of strength, we'll talk of power
We'll walk all over you, come the hour
