I spent
most of yesterday in my beloved Brighton. It only takes an hour on the train
from London, Victoria and I can get to Victoria in about 30 mins from where I live. As I am
not really up to much travelling at the moment, it is an easy journey to a delightful
place and a guaranteed lovely day (whatever the weather).
Yesterday was like summer and I really enjoyed my usual stroll on the beach until meeting up with old friends to catch up over a few beers later.

THE TIME
KEEPER
Keeper of
my time since the day
I first
saw you, a beauty to the eye
more
splendid than royalty, riding
on a
white unicorn in pastures green
mountains
or gently rolling hills,
Child of
Avalon, Queen of Hearts,
carried
on wings and a prayer
like
wildly flowing hair in chariots
of fire
Keeper of
my time since the day
I first
heard you sing songs making
heaven ring
out with such hopes
of
spring, joys only summer days
can
bring, dreams that autumn
cannot
fulfill or winter kill, whatever
any God
may have in mind for us,
left free
to choose, for good or ill,
always
Keeper of
my time since a day
I first
followed you in a storm,
shared
the violence of a passion
equal to
death's own, nor less
a rage to
live than ever stirs in me,
envious
of rider-unicorn a place
in
eternity, riding, rearing or simply
left to
graze, my fickle mistress,
Lady of
the Hours
Keeper of
our tides in history,
the sea,
the sea ...
