I really enjoyed this Adam, light in all it's forms described so beautifully. Loved the descriptive elements and the more intuitive nod to illumination. The luminescence of sea algae storing and releasing light, just as we seek illumination and share it with others. Gotta love layers, layers are good. Love the poem, skillfully written.

On Saturday before the accident was going to collect my bike and cycle 8 miles back along the canal after posting the letter.I call it" canycling,"do it regularly accompanied by my black Paterdale. Bike will have to wait to be picked up for a while until I mend,chained up with two chains in Burnley.

thanks for reading "There Comes A Time".

a passing thought that passed.

Beware the one
who holds the scythe
he comes creeping in
in dark of night
Death may be certain
but of a different stripe
the worst of fears is
an angry wife!

Desmond, Avishek, Julia, Ian, Don and Trevor. Thank you for your comments on this poem as they are much appreciated. The poem was something of a departure from my usual work but there are times when one is driven to strike out at the scociety we live in. I am now entertaining the idea of writing more such poems, which although cathartic, also express what I feel needs to be heard.

Thank you all again
Keith

I’ve always subscribed to the view that Nature knows best; it does things for a reason. But as Billy Connolly remarked, what possible threat to your nose and ears has it anticipated that it grows the protection of a forest of hair? My own theory is that Nature is saying “You’ve had your time as a virile and rampant male so now it’s time to make you unattractive to the opposite sex So the younger ones can have a chance”. Luckily my Remington keeps a hot babe magnet.

Been thinking a lot
'Bout this problem you've got
I got me a theory
(Now hair on my bot)

Anything up
Eventually falls down
So hair on your head
Gravity pulls down

Make sense?

Eventually Bran
You'll lose all, the lot
'Twill end up on floor
All hair that you got

Simple physics Bran......?

Ha! I've reached the age (and the stage in life) when I don't care if I "matter". I'm content to know that I HAVE mattered and provided an
important relevance to the lives of others. Old men should offer
stability and common sense guidance whilst looking after their own
well-being for as long as nature lets them and the grim reaper stays
the hand that holds the scythe that mows us all down in time.
Save me from the trendies and the perennially immature.,,of which
there seems to be an egregious fearful excess in this modern age.

I have a real soft spot for starlings....in fact I was watching a mini fleet of them flying in formation earlier this evening. I especially liked your line ' I put my hand in my pocket and found darkness, failure and losses' we all do that... Sometimes finding just one solitary, shiny hopeful penny!
