She hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then she realised there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.

Blogs that take my mind to better places

Adrift at Sea
Aeolian dissonance
A Rain of Frogs
Meanwhile across town
Lette's blog
The Pomo circus is in town
This is nothing, you should hear me play piano

Places that it is my pleasure to take you

London Ever Again? · 30 September 05

As we land at the airport I begin to shrug on my old skin
Mobile swops for cell phone, routes and PINs come back to mind
I travel across town, steeped with memories of how to behave
Soon no longer memories, but habits that die hard

I walk towards a wall of people, my mind less than aware
Unfaltering, unhesitating, no wavering from my line
For I know just how to make that breach to pass through
The one that leaves the tourists both shaking and scorned

The not so friendly faces so welcome in their way
Noone catches your eye, inflicts a smile as they pass
A fleeting sharing of a moment with a stranger
So much more cherished because so much more rare

Return strikes in so many more ways than expected
More than familiar, things slot back into place
All of its own sights and sounds, smells and just feel
I ponder over how much I miss this unique world

  1. wonderful :) i hope being at home is a fab. experience once again :)

  2. No matter where I go in the world, however exciting it is whilst I’m there, I always look forward to getting back to Blighty.

    There’s really no place like it.

  3. A lovely poem, Sarah… although i’ve never been to England, i’m still attracted to it very much. I think eac place has something really unique about it, which is irreplacable.
