A Nature's Path

The lens directed at the Calypso singer, Aldwin Roberts for a brighter future. It was 1948, and the Empire Windrush docked with many thinking of going back to the armed forces shocked at a reception that brought many to re-focus  in due course, living in different circumstances where skies were gray and the mood sombre yet many still came in large numbers to fill jobs where some were vacant so gradually becoming noticed for being  hardworking and pleasant. 'London is the Place for Me'* a song that resonates still in today's climate. Where we are facing changes so variant. Let us sing and appreciate the talent, we see in all cultures to surpass those whose outlook is less than benevolent. Life changes all the time so there is less room for arrogance, but more for cultural diversity in all its magnificence.

Don't speed off with a mouthful of lunch, Sit back and eat slowly, get a drink and relax Time can wait until lunch has been eaten Be that sensible person who takes that well earned break,  not beaten, (c) nature thoughts nw Inspired by the Greeting card designed by Tihara Smith of tiharasmith.com Tihara's nice message reflects the Greeting's card message too and that is Give Yourself A Break.

The island that I know has memories  on the beach, in the imprint of steps taken one at a time. Finding a voice in poetic stance Trodding over branches that fell onto white, sunkissed sand, warm like the turn of Autumn to Spring.  I walked over these paths many times, reminiscing of days lying there, looking up into clarity. The sky responds with a bright, arched grin. The hues of blue laughing. Mindful that lunchtime approaches, a sip of iced coolsicle, crushed ice water dripping down the glass, onto the sandy beach. Smiling, my skin is scorched red and I forget the sun lotion.   Now stinging, my skin feels sore. I now it is time to go into the sea and feel reassured that summer is always around the corner.

It was of an observation like any other and I sent it in verse form to a poetry outlet and entered competitions as a motivation. Soon I started a blog that was followed by some I knew from MySpace which was nice but also brought some along whose intent was to be bothersome. It happens and will continue to exist like an extensive list that insists on being a pessimist. (c) nature thoughts nw
