I guess it's easy if you have loadsa time to blog away til yer heart's content but my time is shorter than most at the moment.Had a great time in Cornwall this summer with my once a year friends,Geordie Gordie and Karen and Max,Joe,M acey and Dylan(Not Bob) Rasta Steve,Triple Dee,BenGinge and Katie,Farmers from Dartmoor,Colin and Ross(Dave)Anna,Karen,Daniel and the wonderfully harmonic family and many others.For a while in the field where we all always are it seemed perfect.We sang,lit fires and speculated on it all.Meteor showers and falling backwards towards earth seemed so natural and easy.Far from Afghanistan and Iraq and the trials of humanity.But now we're back inside the tunnel and I'm not happy,not at all.
I don't care whether pale Brown replaces pinkey blue Blair,they're all fuckers without a real care for any of us just their own place in shistory.I used to not vote because I thought a vote should be for something you believed in!What a joke that all turned out to be.I don't vote again now. To say I'm depressed after my break would be something of an understatement.
I sat often in my favourite place in Cornwall whilst I was away.A memorial bench out on a headland near Treyarnon Bay.The only place where I can really breathe.Noticed a new bench made from stone in memory of'The Captain and The Purple Lady for whom the sun was always over the yardarm' (should have known them) and wondered who they might have been.Wondered if I might get a bench there one day and who would build it!
Sat there many sunsets wondering why people are so unable to see these things and be content.
Back here watching the coffins come back from Afghanistan I can only manage an admittedly naieve WHY? Remembering Afgfhan coats and Kensington Market and the Summers of Love!!!!!
Wanna post some poems from days of old but will do that later.
Wanna let you in to Ian's poems but will also do that later.
Cornwall is so old and wild. Maybe I am too.Finding it hard at the moment.

A song from a project me and Arthur have been struggling with for years

AGELESS ROCK

The way behind lies worn with tears
Intrepid steps to future years
So cover me cover me don’t say a word
Stop me shiver like some Winter bird

Now you’re tall and wonderful
You test me every day
I’m so glad you made me new
With a future to look forward to

In a big red life like a furnace bright
To melt us all to white light
Ageless rock meets furious sea
And we know the sea will dominate eventually

Young man so strong, so wilful and warm,
I was a child myself when you were born
All those years stretch before us
All my dreams of future

Hope you're all well.
I will cheer up
