A Lament… 

For recent times 

When I wrote in dimly lit bars 

Words jotted in a moleskin notebook  

Succor for my soul 

When it was raining and the words come easy 

In coffee shops and cafes 

Places of mystery and inspiration 

Spaces of solace and solitude 

When I was lost deep inside myself 

Flowing through time  

Surrounded by the white noise of humanity 

Longing for these times to arrive anew 

At peace writing 

Alone amongst the crowd
