    I can be serious too when the situation requires it.


    He saw the daffodils.
    Flashes of yellow against the brown and grey
    Of trees still sleeping.
    embryonic leaves unborn.

    He saw a sunset.
    Slivers of scarlet and orange and ultramarine
    Across the horizon
    Of northern shores

    He saw a castle.
    Ruins standing for centuries just north of Perth
    His usual route
    But today he saw them.

    He saw a hawk.
    Hovering in the sky, its prey already marked
    For extinction
    Both beautiful and deadly

    He saw it all
    Not in halls or bar rooms where he sent his music
    through poisonous air
    But things he’d never learned to miss

    He heard the clock
    And said – I thought that clock was electric
    The clock that ticked
    Away the Minutes of his life
    Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

    Thanks for coming and sharing. Now that's an interesting piece - I shall study it some more. I'm trying to think where though - I lived down there a while. already discounted Huntigtower as it aint north of Perth. Hmmm!

    Thanks for that Katarina, it conjured up a picture for me.
