And I walk on
It rained
And rained
I tried to dodge it
It caught me.
The sun came out
And so did a rainbow
My heart lit up
And I thought of you.
It rained
And rained
I took shelter
And a cappuccino
And thought of you.
You are so close to me now
If I reach out
I could touch you
I believe
But I know this is not true
It rained
And rained
And my cheeks are wet
With rain and tears
I shake myself dry
And I walk on.

Whitby poem
Whitby
1.The first time I saw you
The light took me by surprise
And the smell of fish
It’s fresh crisp taste.
2.You took me to Whitby
A rite of passage
And I fell in love
Though we were never sure.
3.I took you to Whitby
We were in love
And it was part of our web.
4.And the time of the car chase
That ended in wingless flight
You forced open the car door
As the policeman looked on
God you were gone too soon!
5.I clamber up to the ruined Abbey
And feel the history
The fever and the pain
And it’s all past now
But I still have the photos
On my wall
And I wonder
Where are you now?

The Boss consults Q his spiritual director once more
The Boss consults Q his spiritual director once more
- Being the Boss has been my identity …. if I cease to be the Boss who am I?
- How about father, husband, grandfather, friend, son-in-law?
- Yes, yes, but that doesn’t do it for me!
- Oh no? Q raised a sceptical left eyebrow.
- Well ….you know what I mean… of course all those roles and people are important to me … and if anyone of them needed me more…
- You would?
- I would make myself available.
- But that’s not enough for you?
- No, said the Boss flatly. There was a silence, an uneasy silence, in which the Boss coughed but remained silent. Q broke the silence with a question.
- What would be enough?
- I dunno, maybe some new role, some project …I can’t just persue my hobbies.
- No?
- No, said the Boss decisively.
- What might God say?
- Hmm, I have been praying in my own way but there’s only been silence.
- Can you wait?
- I am not a patient man but I guess I have no choice.
Q nodded and there was another more peaceful silence. The Boss sighed and breathed out for once just resting in the silence. It was, and had to be, enough for now.
