Return "And when I fall, as we all must at some time. I shall know, my body will go, go back into the earth. My energy returned, not burned, into other life. Into worms and trees, Into flowers and bees, Now you tell me. What is more beautiful, more dutiful, than this rebirth my borrowed life, returned, to the plentiful earth." Mirror, Mirror "You stare at the mirror, and the man staring back mocks you in silent features. One eyelid sags lower than the other a quite unsymmetrical endeavour. You're eyes are pretty enough true, if anyone looked long enough to see. The one advantage? a strong jaw line, faded now in age and God knows what else. But behind the vacant masquerade, what really lies beneath? A clown? Perhaps. A pessimist? At times. Surely you yourself must know? The answer is i'm afraid, never glorious and rarely even sad. Just a spectrum of grey, Shaded between the lines."

Hi Matthew, welcome to Write Out Loud. Yes, I guess that was the night the Pyrford TV Arts crew were there. The poem is called 'A Foreign Wood', and, yes, it is mine. I composed it last year, just before a Remembrance reading in Woking town centre that the Phoenix organised, and I took part in with another local poet, Sarah Williams. Both Sarah and I were at the Phoenix on Monday night, as it happens. I didn't want them to think I only turn up when a TV crew is there! I've always thought of the Muslim burial ground, out there in the woods, as a rather eerie place, but I think that will change once the Islamic garden within it is open. I had a peek the other day and it is virtually finished.

Matthew, just wanted to make sure you knew, you can read your poetry on any Monday night at the Phoenix, at the open mic. Open to poets as well as musicians!
