Hello readers, I’m able to do a bit of copy and pasting, without straining or tiring myself out.. enjoy…
A Courtyard Of Dreams
Children can be childish, resistant and defiant
Adults can be childish, arrogant and ignorant
I’ll keep my old heels on the ground
While I’m able to see the difference
Between blue, green and brown
With love, there comes hidden trials of hurt
With denial of love, there’s only dust and dirt
A heart’s love, is true tenderness
Do not wait for tomorrow
There will not always be, that life’s sweetness
One day your soul, will know true sorrow
Moving On, by Leonard Cohen: Lyrics
“Moving On”
“I loved your face I loved your hair
Your t-shirts and your evening-wear
As for the world the job the war
I ditched them all to love you more
And now you’re gone, now you’re gone
As if there ever was a you
Who broke the heart and made it new?
Who’s moving on, who’s kiddin’ who?
I loved your moods I love the way
They threaten every single day
Your beauty ruled me though I knew
Twas more hormonal that the view
Now you’re gone, now you’re gone
As if there ever was a you
Queen of lilac, queen of blue
Who’s moving on, who’s kiddin’ who?
I loved your face I loved your hair
Your t-shirts and your evening-wear
As for the world the job the war
I ditched them all to love you more
And now you’re gone, now you’re gone
As if there ever was a you
Who held me dyin’ pulled me through
Who’s moving on, who’s kiddin’ who?
Who’s moving on, who’s kiddin’ who?”

I’m not too bad Sue, but I certainly would want to get any worse… I’m tottering on the edge of pain that’s just bearable…. xx

Thank you Peter, it’s a bit of challenge for me, but I’m not one to lay around and do nothing, I’m needing bigger breaks, and hardly any blogging,…. just do a bit of easy stuff.

Beautiful and poignant, Ivor. Both your poem and Mr. C’s song.
Your courtyard has to be a muse for you…it radiates peace, beauty, joy, inspiration!
Please, oh, please, don’t overdo
Don’t even put on either shoe
Just sit and rest or rest and lay
Tomorrow will be a better day
😀
HUGS!!! 🙂

I’ll be ok, I sort of get used to the pain as the day goes along….. and if I keep active a little, it distracts me from the pain, throughout the day
“Listen To The Hummingbird”
Listen to the hummingbird
Whose wings you cannot see
Listen to the hummingbird
Don’t listen to me
Listen to the butterfly
Whose days but number three
Listen to the butterfly
Don’t listen to me
Listen to the mind of God
Which doesn’t need to be
Listen to the mind of God
Don’t listen to me
Listen to the hummingbird
Whose wings you cannot see
Listen to the hummingbird
Don’t listen to me
