One Side of Me

November 1997


It’s not from “The Bards Sublime”

It’s a reedy little thing, really,

But it’s mine, my song.

I sing it to the woods and trees.

And to my garden. People

Don’t enjoy it particularly,

That’s O.K. Why do I sing? (Badly at that!)

I don’t know. But I have a feeling

That God knows. Knows why

I kiss the flowers and love the trees

And sing.

You do know, God, don’t you?

You do. You do.

God says “Yes!”

(But you can’t hear him.)
