Angel Break

There are lights

There are windows

There is wind

And there is rain

Four wood posts

Four tartan cushions

An homemade bedstead

As big as a field

Four fields to the pub

Or a rattle-on-down

The old cart track

In moonlight and mist

Three somehow couples

Here on Xmas vacation

Set the controls

For the heart of the sun

Oranges for breakfast

And who was Thin Lizzy's

Guitarist before Gary Moore

And where is the CD 

Blues & Ballads

One Question - No Answer

Could I be alone

Alone to be

What would I be alone

Alone to be

They say he stood alone

Alone to be

It's me that's good alone

Alone to be

I had friends and I had family

I lived by moon and by sea

I had happiness and I had recovery

I lived by reaching out for me

Should I be alone

Alone to be

What would I be alone

Alone to be

They say he stood alone

Alone to be

What good to be alone

Alone to be

I had light and I had the dark

I lived by words to breathe

I had energy and I had appetite

I lived a life approaching free

Observations From Within

There are lights
There are windows
There is wind gathering
There will be rain, we suppose

And we moved closer together
And you turned over to find me
And that is when we started to kiss

There is a fire and a cooker
With friends to prepare breakfast
Or we could stay in bed till late
Rising to eat cake, or so I propose

And there are six
And we are two of they
And we didn't want to miss

There is a wood-burner
Whose chimney draws the draught
There is a Christmas Tree
A ukulele for the songs you chose

And there are decorative ribbons
And photographs of sheep
And love of faraway, reachable bliss

There are games on the table
There is mood music on the iPod stereo
These are thoughts from Angel Barn
This is the life not yet to close

To Question

Could I live to be alone
Alone with all the guilt
Could I give to be alone
Give away all that I have built

Could I shift to be alone
Lone as sifting through the silt
Could I drift to be alone
Drifting to the day I wilt

The sun alone is slowly rising
The breeze begins to flee
Darkness is near on prising
Again we share the light to see

You, Away (Cowdust)

A simpler way

Similar of the day

And of the night time

Meditation sways

Calm of purpose to play

With children to lights out time

Picture peaceful Mandalay

Or restless, chaotic, Bombay

Rich colours intertwined

Away for two days to stay

Here alone in our bed I may

Write of the lovers sign
