Welcome to all who gather today
Our journeys have crossed here and now,
The festival season upon us again
Relax and unwind, take a bow.
...

Echo....murmured voices
In my head
In my head,
Mesmerising quiet whispers
...

Hunched on a rock
Mesmerized by the space,
Delirium for now kept at bay,
There was no going back
...

You ask me the music I listen to....

Beautiful musings of love, light and life,
Stirring great songs of passion, power, pain,
...

To sink in the mire,
A cur-sed desire
To quench the unquenchable,
To grasp and claw
...

I don't want to feel 'Good',
I-NEED-TO-FEEL-ALIVE!
This halfway place,
Insipid space,
...

Clawing desperately, frantically,
Muscles burning
Heart pumping recklessly,
The heaving chest,
...

Oh why in the morn
Is it always the same?
Wrest this twisted knot
From the core of my frame.
...

A time for reflection a pondering day
The life of a man just passed away,
Sombre subdued a heavy warm sky
Unfolding new year whatever implied.
...

I'm driven by the aching in my body,
The shortness of the time left here on Earth,
If I had another way
Griping fears to allay
...

Decaying time
Tumbling crumbling
Breaking away
From the residue of today,
...

Ah this jolt the wake-me-up
This harsh and honest view,
Stare into the looking glass
You sure that's really you?
...

Waiting for the anesthetic narcotic
To numb parts
She does not want to feel for now.
Skin going blubbery,
...

Another bout of self doubt
It goes to the core
It hacks at the heart
Of a self just construed
...

I'm taking my time
As I move through the space,
To take it all in
Feel the pulse of this place,
...

This is what I know....
Time has toughened and torn,
The journey is long
And the years have flown,
...
