James Garratt – A life lived and recorded in ink since 1992
I haven’t completed an update for a while and to be honest, I was thinking of abandoning them altogether. Only because my remit for this blog and this site is quite straightforward, that is, it’s an archiving project and the aim is just that, archive my writing so I have something available for people to look at now or in the future
you never captured me
perhaps it was you
just searching for an answer
perhaps it was you
after the war
when the soldiers came home
to the towns
and the cities
and to our villages
these times we live
a dream world
that we dreamed to create
now it is becoming something
that we are beginning to hate
it is all okay
seen it today
saw it for myself
now i know that for one thing
it does not belong to anybody else
me and you
you and i
thinking all the time
people ask you, how do you feel
and if you answer honestly
the smile and the laugh
creep away nervously
feelings…
feelings are,
something you just have
often you cannot explain why
all the time
we work for nothing
must be getting something
we are born into a world
which we say is a special place
got to get home
away from this cold and frost
got to get home
i am almost lost
got to get home
