It’s very strange to feel your armour
eroded by the storms of late
polished steel and impenetrable
built up over many seasons
now tarnished and diminished
worn down in spots and rusted
by the frequent acid rains
Loose the dogs of war
if you must
but be sure
they will turn on heel
and you will suffer the bite
faster than any pigeons
I ever set free
come home to roost
It seems like we haven’t
talked for quite a while
people out there in the
big wide world
Had a lot on my mind
mostly feeble thoughts
and childish fears
about the future
Met a few new folks and
un-met a few more
sometimes it’s just
not worth the hassle
Worked on my own self
with mixed successes
I think I can promise you
I’ll be less distant
Please accept my apologies
Today the world moves like
a float on an outgoing tide
bobbing about erratically
and soon out of your sight
Today the world moves like
a comet in the night’s sky
bright flash across the darkness
passing shimmer in your eye
Alone and steadfast with the
ocean lapping at the shore
dark rocky outcrops and
lush green lower lands
nourished by plentiful rains
silent and overlooked and
very much overgrown
sometimes my friend
you make me feel
like an island
