The Storm – Written August 2001 (Aged 26)

The Storm

she said,
ride the storm
i feel the dead
but then it’s new born
crazy days indeed…
dreams in packets
not so drip fed

she said,
ride the storm
you’ve got the respect of others
but haven’t i been here before
stuck between success and failure
trying to guess the correct door

she said,
ride the storm
and of course success is subjective
but i know i am too sensitive
and far too reflective
but that’s the way i am
and the way i see it,
that is always a problem for them




James Garratt – August 2001
