And I walked
And I walked upon Blackdown
And I walked west Sussex sunlight
up by dead man's pool
Where my ma, Mudlarck and Lewes
stared me down, "you drunken fool"
Old teenage debts engulfed my chest
as I contemplate death
I put a challenge to its glamours
and all its loss and glory
Late afternoon breath
was taken deep into my lungs,
thinking of the man I must become
My story has just begun
and I will be returning to myself soon
I've been alone for so many
of the great moments in my life
Alone like too many
But at this moment in my life.....asking,
"father, father, any way I can help ye?"
So, I am only just growing much better to know thee....
