They threw me to the rubbish heap
Like an old and holey worn boot
(I feel so discarded and cheap)
Just because I no longer suit
...
There is a thing they call hope
Implanted in every breast
So women and men can cope
With life’s most demanding test
...
I listened to a symphony
Of Orthodox and Islamic
Chanting from Ayia Eirini
It was such beautiful music
...
The first time I stepped off that plane
I breathed the aromatic air
It was hot and dry as no rain
In many months had fallen there
...
The first time I saw a cat
I gazed at it in wonder
But it was scared and it spat
And off I had to wander
...
The grass was paler this morning.
It was lightly covered in frost.
Sunlight made it white and sparkling.
Its normal colour, it had lost.

Do you recall those sunny days
When we were young and carefree
When I would come for summer stays
Of two weeks or maybe three?
...
A mother wants to see her daughter
But she lives across the water
A mother has a very strong bond
And she wants to fly across the pond
...
Look at the sky today
Look at the atmosphere
For it is very grey
It is not very clear
...
We had a brief encounter this morning
My sister and I at Moor Street Station
As we were busy walking and talking
Our cousin was there in the location
