#SundayWalks ‘Sometimes The Sky’s Too Bright’ #Poem
Sometimes the sky’s too bright To see the clouds or birds. Sometimes the sun burns through The shade of leafy trees, And blinds impatient eyes, Still searching for visions Of angels smiling At the fire in her eyes. Alas the sky’s too bright To taste the salt in her tears, Or quell the thirst in … Continue reading #SundayWalks ‘Sometimes The Sky’s Too Bright’ #Poem →

#MarcosPlaylist ‘For Once in my Life’ by Steve Wonder #Spotify #Saturdaysingalong #Tanka
Last month I made a playlist with some of my favourite melodies on Spotify. I chose those which had a mellow rhythm and would hopefully lull my newborn grandson, Marcos, to sleep, or at least calm him down!
