Night Watch
Written after attending a choral concert.

Good Will to All and Sundry
This is my 500th post on this blog. I wondered should it be something more momentous, but a plea for peace should be enough.

Till Such Time
Fabled treasures are the purview of men Hearth, home, filling the hope of women Been told, but doesn’t mean it’s true then We heard this meme over and over again Terrified men work to return olden days After, oh so slowly, we changed our ways Realigned our shoulds, oughts and mays Until the time we […]
