10 With a certain degree of inevitability

sunlit evening skies end the day

ending months of grey upon grey

children playing cricket down the street

kicking a ball a scene out of time

soon play once again is interupted

the sky darkness and it rains

do you go on believing that every word of my mouth

is purely spoken for your benefit

you matter more than most but don’t think of yourself

more highly than you should

seasons come and go

rivers will continue to flow

whether you rise or stay in your bed

newborn babies will continue to cry

every breath provided taken for granted

leaves fall down and it rains
