Virginia Waters Poet Rhyme

Thank You David Bowie

Suffering always clogged my heart
Grim visaged was my soul
Eyes dim, shoulders a heavy laden cart
Never a day rose, that I felt whole
Til an image too close, slashed me awake
I braved the plunge, put this rot on paper
Felt change trickle, not just therapy fake
Now, I gather up my words
Not worrying  of form or labour
And let them loose like migrating birds.


Written 20th May 2018 for Broken Wings
