Unlock Your Wings
there are lost loves
and they wear old fashioned gloves
there are lost friends
travellers and companions
who we lost contact with along the way
people who once worked for free
just to help you make the days
but now,
we are sitting in the garden
trying to connect to our sundial
all the while,
i am deeply moved by the world around me
but so often, it lacks the keys
to let us occasional jailbirds fly free
but nonetheless,
no matter what life brings
i now know that the true key
is having the ability to unlock your wings
James Garratt – October 2023
