not one living soul passed by during the night
no tracks or traces left in this unforgiving wilderness
I search for clearings but only briars are forthcoming
soon the mist may clear and the path become visible
onward and upwards my journey takes me
~
at least everything is turning green
I notice gardeners are getting their fingers dirty
robins plucking worms from between their feet
the skies are widening and the air is warmer
but I know for some
darkness hangs over them still
a few more months needed for them to catch up, maybe
at least everything is turning green
that’s something

(written for someone who just wants to feel better,
who wrote on their blog: At least everything is green here)
a nod also to New Order – the fab early years post Joy Division.
Great poem, great song.

Cheers Jon, yeah those early New Order 12 inchers were the best. Good to hear it again. All the best, Col.
