Autumn afternoon, pale sunlit room. October came too soon. Bare wooden floors, a bed and little more, A stir, a stretch, a yawn. Dust motes, pass close, drifting slow, ebb and flow, Be the dust, weightless, waiting to be swept up. Slowly changing light, colours fade to white, The ground, the air, the sky, But seasons always change, they never stay the same, We move through time and place. Solid skin, reaching, Fingers curling, closing. Hand stretch, silhouette, At least I know I’m not dead yet. Not dead yet, not dead yet. Weightless

Whitby chips wrapped up, warming hands. And as I climb up the narrow hill, One last time, a shadow's cast. Starlings swoop and swing wildly by, And looking up I’m lifted on the wing, And my thoughts take flight. It’s Autumn in Lisbon, High time for action, But I’m just passing time, passing through. Unsure why I’m here, Halfway to Brazil, Well the flights were booked and irredeemable. High above they swirl Every which way, Through narrow streets they dive past drying sheets, In October heat and every turn and swerve at dizzy height is purely guided by the wings of those on either side a searing sight. It’s Autumn in Lisbon, High time for action, But I’m just passing time, passing through. Unsure why I’m here, Halfway to Brazil, Well the flights were booked and irredeemable. Chestnut vendors sell on every corner of the square And by the castle stair, filling the air with their wares And in the corner of my eye, I see half a man with half a mind. It’s Autumn in Lisbon, High time for action, But I’m just passing time, passing through. Unsure why I’m here, Halfway to Brazil, Well the flights were booked and irredeemable.

They travel at night, Wingbeats in time, Stay together called at great height, There is still so far to go In slipstream, in the gaps between, Bright headlights, calls carrying, I stay in this moment a while. And stop and listen and look and stop Unexpected, their breaking in, A walk home made into something new, Unceasingly new. So stop and listen and look And stop and listen and look and stop and listen Wind rattled, old chimney panes, New tarmac, glistening with rain, So familiar this place, This walk, this lock, these pots, So stop and listen and look

about

The 3rd of my Seasons EPs for 2019, 'Autumn' is released on the Autumn equinox, when the sun passes directly over the earth's equator and the day and night are equal in length. It's a special EP for me that I feel captures many of the themes that find their way into my writing - nature, the weather, birds, mindfulness, people and places, time and space. I hope you enjoy it.
