to N.


Oh the many days I spend in vain pursuit of meaningless things,
Obsessed with thin, silly dreams and beauty queens

And you my friend,
are just a very small man.
A very small man,
in a very large world.

His job takes him far and wide
to the furthest north, to the southern lights
He sees beauty amongst the most beautiful
but the brightest lights cast the strongest shadows

There’s a twinkle in his eye, and a hint of a cheeky smile
But a dark cloud creeps over and there’s a slight frown
as he tells us, almost with a sad smile,
 “okay, no more stories of guns, that’s enough”

One does wonder
what does he remember?

For he’s seen too much
and there are tears in his soul 

But he does what he can
and he journeys on 
alone

For it is such a secret place, 
the land of tears
