THE ORCHARD   no2( song/poem)

In little bars & small cafe's I sit

to sort out what is real & what isn’t
Two hours to give it all & hit that high  

& 22 that’s left to occupy.
I do remember you, you touched my soul.

To fill me with a love to make me whole.
Love’s the only gift what will remain 

endeavours of the mind are all in vain.

It’s a long, long way from here to yonder

whatever makes it so I often wonder.
I recall an orchard in another time

the world was young & everything was fine.  

I struggle to return to that orchard

& I wonder was it ever there at all

Returning like a child to the orchard

to celebrate a time before the fall……
In moving trains I go within a world

that does’nt even know.

Life is a process not just some event,

the planet is’nt ours it’s only lent.
These days I’m sold on hanging onto now

and questions need less answers when you bow
Sometime I do ask, why and thats a truth

and long for the orchards of lost
youth.
