Jason’s Return (12th November 2019) And so he shall always return Holding sway at the dimming of the day And so he shall sing of strange sailings Remembering times with distant spirits so fey And so we get armed with a lance To keep faith with the eternal blues And so to the thrill that never shall leave us Nor shall our old gin house muse And so the Wicker Man still burns within us Filling our dreams as our heads lay on pillow And so we obsess with the darkness It curls around like the embrace of the willow And so we let the dark ghosts linger Forever returning through our song And so brass snaking like smoke curling Feeling the jazz life all night long And so the star dust tries to settle Getting caught in the prevailing wind And so the song goes on forever Let’s love and support our fellow kind And so we watch the world go by Beholding such beauty from afar And so to those truly deserving For they returned as light from distant star And so we drink in the tea and oranges From the hand of your intense new love And I dream of your mind and body The bird on the wire is our one dove And so we were embraced once again From root to branch of the laburnum tree And so we welcomed the golden chains Capturing such beauty that we all could see And so we live in this world of pain But our spirits never let go the celebration And so we breathe the air and make love again Not for new life, but merely pure elation And so we struggle to avoid the street Where poor souls live under gathering cloud And so our dreams may wash away in the rain Another homeless life ends under dirty shroud And so we still sing of sin and the fallen Flickering lights across the backs of the beast And so to the fields and long may they feed us For on love and food . . . and music . . . . we forever shall feast Jason, November 2019 Thank you to Lance and his Band Unknown, Mark Lynch, Chris Martin, Heather & Simon, Bob & Christy Lee, Helga & Lisa, John, Simon, and Jim, for all your performances. I hope this “blog” poem is something a bit different and that you enjoy reading it. J
