When days roll, heavy hearted, by
And dusk has turned a darker hue
Where breathing’s choked and not so free
I rest my back on bark of old ash tree
And whisper words into electric blue
Discovering solace in the sky

Not an easy time, Steve and I hope you’re doing okay. I do like that style of rhyme. There’s a symmetry to it, working out from the centre, like ripples spreading from a stone tossed into a still lake.

Thank you, Michael. My first attempt. The ‘ripples’ simile is perfect
