Sitting
On the dividing line
Between yesterday
And tomorrow,
I see feelings
And feel memories.
The essence of time
Falls
Like sand through my fingers.
I see the hours
And touch the memories
That will soon
Fill my head

Seek only gentle days
Seek only gentle days my friend,
Seek only gentle days.
All else is wearing, and corrosive to the soul.
The too highs, the too lows
Drain your psyche.
Treat them as they deserve.
You can do nothing about the rain,
The wind, or the snow
Wherever possible,
Sit in the gentle sun
Or warm shade,
And reflect,
Whilst writing your name in the dust
Seek only gentle days my friend,
Seek only gentle days,
And share them
Shadow of greatness
Yorkshire’s stark Pennine hills
Stand guard
Over the valley road
I sit
Watching cricket coaches
Hard at work with their skills,
Knowing
That we are
In the shadow
Of Ted Hughes,
At Mytholmroyd Cricket Club
Scout Rock
Offers no shelter
From the rain
