chris spurrell Poems

I stand in a field alone keeping watch
The sun and the moon are my only clock
In the morning and evening I'll always be there
I never go off for a walk anywhere.
...

I look out of my window what do I see
Why only the moon peeping down on me
Gone are the trees they're nowhere in sight
Everythings black except for the lights
...

Night is approaching the light fades away
Darkness is creeping to take over from day
Out come the animals that hunt in the night
The fox or the badger can give you a fright
...

The day begins full of peace but there's a storm brewing in the east
Clouds that were white now turn to grey it going to be a stormy day
Way up high in turbulent skies dark black clouds now float by
Silver patterns light up the sky as lightining flashes all around
...

I wish I was a bird flying high in the sky
Swooping and soaring way up high
Up and down mountains all on my own
Then back to my nest where I've made my home
...

What do I see in this world today
Where is the love the joy and the laughter
People are frightened by what they here and they see
I think that everyone just wants to be free
...

Welcome to this summer's day
The dawn will bring the songbirds
To sing their morning songs
And the sun is creeping over the horizion
...

Where are the forests that were once green
Where are the animals none can be seen
Where are the fish that once swam in our seas
Where are the birds that once flew free
...

Four little paws and two bright eyes
When he's around everything flies
Plants will go over and down on the floor
But he'll scamper around then out of the door
...

Away from the city I can't wait to be
The hustle and bustle I want to be free
Where people are stranger's in every day life
To my home in the country where everything 's right
...
