Hello everyone and welcome to my first Blog of 2019.
This year I will feature poems and lyrics from my latest collections of lyrics/poems completed in December 2018. The titles are: Rattlemon:Djentleman of doom and Fame.
The continuum of being
The continuum of being is
Birds singing in the softly growing light.
Recognising the links between the seemingly unrelated
While going through your day.
Accepting all the flow within and around,
The seasons, years, persons,
Interacting then leaving your stage.
The continuum of being is
Birds again singing but in the gently fading light.
Accepting all the nonsensical disconnects
Yet retaining your calm solace
In what you know and is truth beyond opinions,
Nestling and resting on a heart of love.
The continuum of being is
Equal parts of what is and what is not.
Also what is now and yet to be forgot
A prayer of bliss unceasing.

“The continuum of being”
The seed for this one was hearing birdsong in the early mornings and at dusk, then acknowledging this was a gift – something good to hear, reminding myself that we live in a continuum – flow – of days with events leading us onwards.
Rattlemon
Theyz call mi Rattlemon, Rattlemon is all.
Lay mi guitar wit tha Dub
Dub thats all.
Theyz call mi Rattlemon, rattling slow or quick.
I provides whatz u need
Every trick.
Iz Rattlemon come hear mi play
Rattle dub by night
Reggae vibe by day.
Rattlemon keep a rattling
Keeping things sweet wit yo spice.
Gi mi more of your rattle
Iz want another slice.
Rattlemon keep a rattling
Mek mi Reggae sing
Tha groove no working
Witout yo thing.

Rattlemon. Style is reggae patois – I wouldn’t say its exact but it’s a feeling of it! A tribute to all reggae bass players – especially Robbie Shakespeare and Aston Barrett.
Winter is here, but spring is not that far away. I’m keeping this in mind!
