Haiku
I Climb
Step by step I climb
Steadily walking my path
Time is flying fast
“If You Wait”
Brother, drop your bag at once
From the air to the people
A mass to take you on
From the clock to the past
A future that I own
And to find just one other
Seems to be the goal of everyone
From the search to the hurt
I believed I could take you on
We would drink, we would dance
And you would watch me whenever you wantAnd can you give me, everything
Everything, everything
Cos I can’t give you anything
And if you wait, if you wait
I will trust in time that we will meet again
If you wait
If letters spell out words, son
You chose to put them in order, didn’t you
From the meaning, the moment you tried to take me on
From the air to the room A bed that I own
And can you give me everything,
Everything, everything
Cos I can’t give you anything
And if you wait, if you wait I will trust in time that we will meet again
If you wait
I will trust in time that we will meet again

Yes Carolyn, I found the song strongly heartwarming xx ((Hugs)), and my Haiku was a word dream from last night, which I jotted down at 2.30am, half asleep/half awake.

Good to see you looking so well Ivor :O) Love the haiku and the song – London Grammar have done some super tracks but I think my favourite will always be Wasting my Young Years – if you don’t know it have a listen xxx
