Songs on Saturday ~ Chumbawamba
our greatest glory is not in never falling
but in rising every time we fall ~ Confucius
The start to my 2021 has not been the best of times; I’m still in lockdown, I’ve most likely got bronchitis, my heating and hot water system is busted, and my latest tarot drawing was disturbing. But I will not go under. Every single time that I get knocked down I get up again.
There is kindness and love out there for each of us ~ it’s just that sometimes we have to go through the Valley of Misery to find it.
Please listen with understanding.

I am not a prisoner of my fate
Lockdown Love
the long dark lonely hours of passionate thoughts
~
he thought he saw a female shadow in the courtyard
~
he thought he heard footsteps outside his cell
~
he thought he saw the door-latch move
~
he thought he heard the hinges creak
~
he saw the door slowly opening

bound and tied
she was as much a prisoner as he
second best at best
~
what a surprise
more work needed
could do better if he tried
long past time those feelings died
gone, lost by the unforgiving sea and sky
