Hi

I just wanted to thank you wonderful people for your support and comments.
You've restored my faith in human nature.

There is a follow up story.

This chap and his two boys have formed a band and one of the boys asked me to write some lyrics. As my father taught me "two wrongs dont make a right " I agreed.
When I sent the lyrics I got a reply saying "wow ! they're so cool,you're the best Nige, we love you".
They played the song 'Mary the Mask' at a local club, I turned up unexpectedly and it was hugs all round........and a very grovelling,red faced dad.

I seem to have caused a bit of negative emotion with this thread so as a thankyou and an attempt to balance things out I'v put one of my proper Agonist fueled poems below.

WHAT I SEE



A Summer mist, dew drop silken screen floating above a field,
adorns the verdant sheen, to warm caress soon will yield,
simple beauty briefly seen.


A field of Barley, in waves of ebb and flow,toyed by the breeze,
whispered secret voice, from buffeted stalks, the air does tease,
and harvest time rejoice.


An English Wood, sentinel statues of complex wooden mould,
a sunlight dappled domain, of splendour for eyes to behold,
in memory to remain.


The sound of water, feeding through the land as brooks or streams,
silent until it falls, when Naiad chatter infuses magic into dreams
as ever on it crawls.


I never look, my blessing or curse is that I can only see,
that nothing is ever mundane,in a World of majesty,
everything is arcane.
