These Hills – Written Sunday 17th February 2002 (Aged 26)

These Hills

these hills,
keep appearing
these hills,
keep-a-smiling
these hills,
are a future in my life
we are all wondering –
if there is a reason for grief
i wanted wisdom
but all i got was milk teeth
these hills
keep-a-coming
like a broad horizon
these hills,
keep-a-smiling
what do they want of me
these hills look so big
as shallow as is my sea,
when the tide is out –
from these hills that belong to me




James Garratt – Sunday 17th February 2002
