Nothing left
Nothing left but beauty
All passed
All passed but still here
An illusion
An illusion you created
To bathe yourself in ever hot tears

Living the dream
Never been so good
Never had so much
Breathing the best beat

Breathing
We’re breathing and loving
Loving
Loving and living
Living
Living and dreaming

The Man XV
Sometimes too needy
Can be naggy
Still my rock
Still next to me

The Man XIV
Noon and sunshine
Your face on my mind
The smell of tree
The scent of thee

The New Young
Crimson lip colour
Rosy blush and heavy mascara
Flung them off behind
Into the air, all into the air
Fake smiles and surprises
Chitty chats and flowery galas
Thrown them away as I climb higher
Higher onto the mountain with nothing
Nothing but good air
Where I smile when I smile
And chant what I chant
Take me as I am

The Challenge – Day 31
All to myself
Anytime, anywhere
All ears
Whole heart
Entire year every year
Any mood any weather
Always ready
Always here

The Challenge – Day 30
Why fight
Dance with it
Between black and white
Gradients and shades
Accept
Then thrive

The Worrier II
If only, if only
If only tears shed could cleanse the soul
If only steps you took were all seen and appreciated
If only, if only
If only you had more trust and confidence
If only you looked inside for resonance
If only, if only

The Man XIII
Shattered in one second
He put every small pieces back
One by one
Each and every single bit
Gently by hand
Day after day
Month after month
He stayed to finish
He continued until it’s completed
He’s still here after mending
He said he’d never leave his masterpiece
