December 16, 2012 - Black Promise
Black Promise .
We shall bake a black promise.
One that rises to fill every soul,
leaving no room for sticks and stones.
We shall sit at a table round and bare,
with no heads, no wooden spoons or cups to fill.
We’ll play games for no prizes,
make rainbows without green and red, black and blue.
We’ll shed tears and fears into a well so full
it forever flowed into holding hands,
as trees grew back tall around us,
and grass reached out lush and long,
holding us so high in endless respite
– there would be no end or beginning.
( Clunk & Jam book.)

Every Day Is Yours To Win . (REM song from album ‘Collapse Into Now)
With the walk and the talk and the tick tock clock. With the rock and the roll and the bridge and the toll. With the brilliance and the light and the stink and the fight. And the road ahead of you, I cannot tell a lie, it’s not all cherry pie. But it’s all there waiting for you, yeah you. With the warp and the wooze and the subterfuge, does it all look bitter and blue? Well I’m nothing but confused with nothing left to lose and if you buy that, I’ve got a bridge for you. Every day is new again. Every day is yours to win. And that’s how heroes are made. I wanted to win. So I said it again; that’s how heroes are made.
