Far from home I long

for a familiar face

and she obliges

Stuck in Warrington for work. Nice sunset from my hotel room window. I took a pic. And below the pic is a beautiful song by Jon Redfern, called “I love the sun”. Deeply melancholy, to me it talks of passing seasons and lost loved ones, how the sun can revive you in times of sadness and reflection. Much lovelier words than my Haiku.

“I love the sun, I love the sun
It shines down on everyone
I count the days, I count the days
Winter comes and daylight fades
Where are you now, where are you now
Friends I've seen go to the clouds”

itself into the sunshine

basking on a rock

It was sunny in Warrington! After a drive involving horrible deep puddles, I left Milton Keynes station in more showers, only to be surprised that the weather up north, although a little bit chilly, was sunny.

Having been starved of sun these last few weeks, I walked to the edge of the platform, in the open air, without the old metal shed casting a shadow over me. I stood with my back to the sun, to catch as much warmth as I could. It fed me with joy.
