It was sunny the day our hearts broke away.
A decade has passed—but some wounds ignore clocks.
The news bloomed like bruises on a nation’s chest.
Shoreham stood still.
Time forgot how to move.
Eleven men.
Men of mornings and small routines.
Lunchboxes. Laughter. Motorbikes.
Some had children. Others were children—still.
And one…
one kept wildflowers on his phone.
Too shy to say, “This made me think of you.”
There’s no symmetry to this grief.
It leans sideways and doesn’t apologise.
It smells like engine oil and funeral flowers.
It hums in the throat of widows and mothers,
grows moss in the cracks of pub tables,
clings to the wings of the plane that didn’t stop.
Somewhere, a bottle of red remains uncorked.
Somewhere, a bike rests against a wall no one will move.
Somewhere, wildflowers still bloom—
and someone remembers
the man who loved flight,
but stayed grounded
for everyone but himself.
Still.
Author’s Note:
For the eleven lives lost on 22 August 2015 at Shoreham:
Dylan Archer, Richard Smith, James Mallinson, Mark Trussler,
Matt Jones, Matthew Grimstone, Jacob Schilt, Daniele Polito,
Tony Brightwell, Mark Reeves, Maurice Abrahams.
You are remembered.
Dear Editor,
I won’t let you stand on my throat—
Stifle my compassion,
Weigh down my shoulders
With a chip — not sweet like chocolate,
But sharp like ice.
Not from the old block,
But cracked from the freeze
You placed in my bones.
You guillotine my fire
And return me only grief.
Dear Editor,
I know your job is important—
But is it louder than the truth
That begs to be heard?
Just because a stanza doesn’t touch you,
Or it ends without rhyme or convention,
Does that make it any less real?
Dear Editor,
Please see the substance beneath the design.
We poets are crucified
For daring to call out—
For letting our voices
Tremble, burn, and bleed.
Dear Editor,
I once wrote about loss
So heavy, it cracked the sky.
A plane fell — and a friend was gone.
And I wrote it raw.
And I sent it whole.
And it came back with silence.
Maybe the timing was wrong,
But the pain was right.
Dear Editor,
I beseech you:
Look into your heart,
And look at the piece.
Admire the craft,
But let truth ring through.
Then maybe more of the unheard,
The undervalued,
And the unpolished
Will shine, too.

My daughter asked me : daddy where is heaven?
I thought about this very carefully
asking myself the same question.
Then the answer came into my mind
Like a bolt of lightning.
Heaven is god, and god is heaven.
When we commit ourselves to god , body and soul
Then we are in heaven, because heaven is in us.
Yet when we fail to see what is in front of us
And what’s in our hearts, that’s when we are blind.
For god is in our hearts, and heaven is god.
Just look around at all that he has created
Then look into your heart and
see the beauties inside and out.
Why would god create the universe and the world
And not have created a heaven within us.
We are gods most beautiful creation
And he gave us his only begotten son
To show us the way to heaven.
Now many say that heaven is in infinity
and infinity has no beginning and no end.
and hell is here on earth, and some say it’s below the earth.
Now it is hard to believe that god
would make this beautiful earth as hell.
And if it was under the earth, where is the fire and brimstone
When we dig so deep into the earth searching for oil.
Heaven is in our love for god while on this earth
Then we go to his kingdom in his total heart
Where it is infinite.
This is where I see heaven my daughter.
It’s in all of us who believe in god.
Whom do you truly love?
look into your heart to see
what our affections truly are
what seeds growing on our tree
The Lord God himself is our desire
well this statement should be true
if He’s more important than anything
for in His eyes nothing else will do
For to love this world is folly
as it can never satisfy you
only God in His son Jesus Christ
can satisfy and make you His anew
Scripture clearly declares to all
don’t love the world nor it’s standard
it will only fill you with it’s dross
leaving you with no lifeguard
Jesus said narrow is the way to life
those that find it will be few
so be sure you love God truthfully
proving that love to all who view
God’s love is shown to be in us
only when the world is clearly outside
then Jesus will be our all in all
trusting Him always to be our guide
('Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.')
1 John ch. 2 vs. 15-17 (ESV)
Don't look for me in the shadows for I am not there
Look into your heart for my spirit dwells there
I am not a myth nor fantasy
I am what your heart sees as me
Your compassion and love where always there
You gave when no one else cared
Oh how I wished I could have told you so much and more
But my journey was closing and too soon life closed it's door
And now I watch you still close by
I read your thoughts and see the tears in your eyes
Remember my sweet one we will always share a bond
I can still feel and hear you even though I have gone
Close your eyes and my voice will guide you
Where the red rocks touch the sky so blue
A Kind of Winter
Never to see you turn and smile
or smell your rain-wet hair
or feel your hand or hear your voice
or look into your heart-full eyes
or hold you when you cry
'til Sun and laughter come again
is a kind of Winter,
as now when city, meadow, river field
are numb with cold and lashed by rain
that bends us in rebuke
of our too prodigal Spring.
But Sun and Spring will come again
painting trees and flowers, grass and sky
green yellow red and blue
and water freed from snow will dance
seaward through the clover fields
past celebrating birds to sunlit shore
where my wildly beating heart
searching horizons of blue sky
someday may see your homeward sail
sparkling whitely at farthest edge
of the infinite blue-green, dancing sea.
The teacher, long retired, ran across a copy of the only poem she ever saved
which immediately caused her to reminisce….
For in all her years of teaching she’d never read a poem…as beautiful as this.
“Class,” she remembers saying with a smile. “I want you to write a love poem.”
She assumed this was easy and every student would understand….
until one student in the middle of class timidly raised her hand.
“My dad was killed by a bomb in the war.” she said.“I remember the exact date."
“How am I to write about love when I’m filled with so much hate?”
The teacher had anticipated many questions…but this one…she never guessed…
She walked over, put her arms around her student…and hugged her to her chest.
“When hate is all around us”, she said…”when bombs are dropping from above…
that is the time we must fight hate…and search for words of love.”
“Look into your heart.” she said, ‘words of love are waiting there
words of love you will discover…words of love you’ll want to share.”
She wasn’t sure what to expect until that night at home
when she read this young girl’s assignment entitled…
This Is My Love Poem
My dad used to talk about love…before he turned off my light…
He said love is a wonderful way to start the day…and the only way to say goodnight.
So I will try everyday to think in words of love…no matter what my fate
hoping the words of love I find…will overcome my hate…
I hope someday to discover within my heart the words I’m searching for…
hate has won this latest battle…but I won't let it win the war.
Perhaps when words of love, instead of bombs, are falling from the sky
then love will finally vanquish hate…and no more Dads will have to die.
Hate has left me with a scar and my dreams shall forever now be haunted…
but I will l do my best to look for love, because…
that’s what my dad would have wanted.
Weep no more for me my lady
For I have never left you all this time
It is true you can not see me
But I am always by your side
You gave me more than I can ever say
You saved me from my own demons
And the strength to face the coming days
You carry in your heart the spirit of the ancient ones
You search for the path to follow
But my sweet lady your path had already begun
The compassion and love you give to all who have been touched by you
Are the beauty that is the essence of a heart so true
So weep no more my sweet lady, and look into your heart
There together we are one and from there I will never part.

VERSE A
Oh I know I promised I'd never leave
I'd always stay by your side
Tho' Heaven has taken me, Love, please don't grieve
For that oath, I still abide
I know our nighttime came much too soon
But I'll light your dark with the stars and the moon
And when you feel alone
Just look up to the sky
And I'll be right here
CHORUS 1
You'll see my smile in faces that greet you
You'll know my words in songs that you hear
And every time your heart beats
I'll be speaking to you
In the voice of your soul
That I'm always here
VERSE B
Oh I'll be the sunbeams to kiss warm your cheek
The raindrops to wash it if tears start to streak
And when you feel alone
Just look into your heart
And I'll whisper to you
That I'm always here
CHORUS 2
My gaze will be the eyes of our children
My joys will be their laughter and cheer
And every time that you blink
I'll be winking at you
With a message our own
That I'm always here
VERSE C
Oh death can't divide us our love is too strong
I'll be here beside you 'til your years grow long
And when you close your eyes
For the very last time
I will rock you to sleep
For I'll be right here
I love you, my darling, I'm always right here.

When the sun drops out of sight
On a full moon night
When the moon shines so bright
All across the night
With God creating this amazing sight
When we are able to just walk all through the night
Without any synthetic light to find our way
Then I think how God has put his blessings on display
In the most powerful way
Satan promises to take all that light away
If man should choose to play his way
Darkened like a no moon night
Your world plunged into fright
To spend eternity without light
That brings Gods world into sight
Gods people know the bible is right
The ones left sitting on the fence uptight
knowing deep inside
That Satan has taken you for a ride
Gods open arms waiting for all
Who will hear his mighty call
That do not wish to fall into the bowels of hell
Where your loved ones won't hear you yell
The smell of death and destruction
Will be your only smells
Satans trickery so full of lies
Trying to bring the world to its demise
It's never too late to demonstrate
Until now you were dealing with a fake
Our God who controls our fate
Will never make you wait
Look into your heart he is never far apart
Tell him you wish to be a part of his kingdom
That leads us to freedom
When we receive God into your heart
Then your life won't come apart
He gives us a fresh new start
Like a shooting dart
He will take Satan completely apart
In your new life, he restarts the important parts
Know the peace he brings
Every time he swings his might
He will light every step of your way
So you no longer will fear
The day when he will be coming back here
To deal with Satans hellish atmosphere
The time is near
He is waiting to hear from you today
So when you pray be sure to say
God is the light that lights up the night
He is the one to show you way
And that does not change
From day to day
We have never met
Never shared a glance
Never spoke a single word
I never got a chance to see your smile
All I know of you is your words
Written on a glowing screen
Late at night
Alone you sit staring ahead
Typing words, thoughts and feelings
Are you writing them for me to read?
Is the poem a love letter to me?
I can only hope that the thought of me inspired you
How can I know what you were truly thinking?
I can read into your words, between the lines
I look into your heart
I see a loved locked away for ages
Yearning to be released
I see in your words that it was meant for me all along
We have never met
Never shared a glance
Never spoke a single word
I never got a chance to see your smile
All I know of you is your words
And that is who I love
