Firefighters bow heads in silent paean, 
while polished trucks stand...

by Seen and unseen
Forces?
That if we speak
As God...

How does feel to be a soldier
And go to war?

Against a glorious backdrop of tall mountains,
That were fashioned before Eden’s retched  malady,

No-one knows what´s
On sale there
It could be washing powder
Almonds or diamonds
You think this was some
Yesterday
Look out your
Ghost smeared
Window
This is now

The pin pricked
Giant will barely

Reflecting hope over snow covered ground,
Softening the heart and soul…
	With a soothing whisper,
The kiss of kindness, blissful – healing,

All the blessings, the many things…
That make up a lifetime, timeless...
