A Day In The Life Of Jacob

Even though it rises every day
somewhere, someplace in time.
...

Retribution.

Alone I entered the room.
Something wasn't right.
...

Little Man.

There was joy, there was sorrow
there was darkness, there was light.
...

It's been a very reasonable day. Just a light shower or two
walking along these country lanes, round each corner, a different view.
But it's getting late now and darkness will soon be here
there's a haunting sound from the wood nearby, I hope it's nothing to fear.
...

Living in another world
singing a different song.
Keeps me away from you
it’s been for far too long.
...

I see a loneliness in your eyes

and I don’t know what to do
...

If you were to ask me the place I like the most
it would be Porth Joke Beach on the Cornish coast.
Where walking down to the beach on the path so steep
red poppies and corn marigolds dance at your feet.
...

Just give me an aperture
and a shutter speed too
with a bright viewfinder
and a good lens or two.
...

A picture hangs on my wall
it's a photograph taken by me
of two little girls by the riverside
fishing there with me.
...

When two little girls look up at me
it can remind me how good life can be
and when I hear their voices in play
I love the funny things, they often say.
...
