Hard Chair

Here is a little something I wrote while sitting out on the back verandah in Brisbane Australia. There are 4 comfy chairs and 4 hard chairs, needless to say there were 5 of us!

I'm as grateful for the hard chair and it's gift of insiration for this piece as I am for the nasty life I was born into that has now in retrospect presented me with so many tools I can use in life to help me through any situation thrown my way! Hope you like it.....

Well I'm sitting on a hard chair

And I'm thinking of a day

When the air around me's thinner

And the warmth makes me stay.

All this while I'm wishing

That a heart like yours was here

Sitting right beside me

Comfortable and fair.

The day, Oh the day,

Is getting older, never younger.

The sounds all around me

Blase a colour thru my sky

And the glimmer of a candle

Beckons me goodnight,

But I'll stay.

I want to stay.

Here with my thoughts,

Thoughts turn to play,

With the walls as they grow thicker,

Keeping me inside.

Around me's only reality,

And I'm on the other side,

But I'll stay

While they sway

In and out like the waves.

As they crash down all around me

And I'm forced into a stare

With eyes I cannot see yet

But shimmer with a glare.

Here I'm yours

You have me now

While I pour my heart out.

Of a glass without a bottom

Sitting on a table with no legs

And all this while I'm wishin'

You were here with me instead

But I stumble

And stagger

Into a train

Carrying me into tomorrow.

My gift to you my brothers and sisters, Joey
