Such gentle words can break our sullen bonds

tresco_2019-4

A word  that’s spoken by a friend can  reach
Can touch, can move, can  embrace in its sounds
The inner soul where its vibrations teach.

When cut off, silent,after   sad defeat
Such gentle words can break our sullen bonds
A word  that’s spoken by a friend can  reach.

We must not  torture nor torment  in speech
Our heart, the centre of our  morbid wounds
The inner soul with its vibrations speaks..

From our eye, a tear  springs  with  relief
From imprisoned sulking, jump with a great bound!
A word  that’s spoken by a friend can  reach.

Muscles weaken,but the mind stays fleet
Humour and its cousins are our clowns
The inner soul  by its athletics speaks.

I smile and smile  yet rarely do I frown
For I will rise up, even when low down
A word  that by a friend can  reach,provoke
In  our souls ,deep  memories  will evo

Death of democracy?

Boris Johnson seems  hard and cold.Maybe he is Icarus……… who knows?

We got it in your mouth but it was hell

I was in a dark and evil place
Having seen the blackness of your face
You had no trousers on your thin old legs
Sitting in a chair beside your bed

I sat down, you collapsed onto my breast
Your  blood was out of oxygen at last
The nurse came running with some sugar gel
We got it in your mouth but it was hell

I had to help him lift you  to the bed
You never spoke, I wondered were you dead
He said that you must eat which was bizarre
You were semi conscious as you glared.

A doctor came from calling 111
He said you got pneumonia,by gum!
He rang  999 and then he left
The paramedics ran in, I  dismissed

I waited in a  little room with chairs
An hour passed by,I pulled out my own hair
Then at last they pulled the curtain back
You were on a  trolley like a sack

Your voice was stronger and  right then you said
Oh, darling, I’ll soon  see my mum and dad

 

Be wary of BP lowering pills

ashdown-house-2019-1About 4 weeks ago I went to a walk in Medical Centre, thinking I had an infection
I was right.I did have one.But this doctor insisted on giving me pills for high blood pressure despite not knowing me at all.I was distressed about  the behaviour ot someone who won’t   return my door keys

Anyway, about 10 pm I felt odd.I went into the kitchen ]   then guessed I might faint and managed to kneel down before I went unconscious.I came to  and thought I was not injured and despite my face being black and blue the next day I was not hurt

I got a locksmith.When  he saw my face he asked me what happened.He offered to call on the person  who has my keys but I  did not want  him to do that
In the end it proved useful as he fixed another key and adjusted the doors.
So beware.Don”t do like I did.Ask your own doctor first before taking new medication

God won’t mind, he knows well we are flawed

Oh, my electric carpet sweeper  I adore
It  never grumbles as  it sweep my floors
It sounds so quiet and gentle as it drags
Dust and bits of wool from off my rugs

I’m astonished how much dirt if gathers in
I  examine  it with awe beside the bin
I look to see of there is any gold
Just as Freud the prophet has foretold

I found three pounds, enough to buy some tea.
I like tea in bed as I come to.

Escaping from my dreams as from a Zoo
Am I odd or am I just like you?

Even kitchen tools can be adored
God won’t mind, he knows well we are flawed
