Time
Measured out and detailed
how-ever you wish, by the beat…
ing clock, the chimes of mid…
night that slips into day…
minute
by minute
hour
by hour, by sunlight’s yawn
and the thunder of the dark…
this works
if you have somewhere
you need to be
regulated by the syncing of your heart
to the pendulum doom laden swing…back and forth
timed to perfection, a minute gained
here, a moment saved
there
for what, pray tell…

When you have packed so much into life as David Crosby, it becomes almost impossible to not do anything well. To expose yourself to everything that life may offer, and even be willing to feel your way in the darkest of places to find parts of your psyche, is to be able to create art that comforts all those that stand by your side or who may listen as the days grow more intense, more personal.

Exposing yourself to a world of contrasts is what makes life exciting, fulfilling, strange, and unforgettable; the problem with many in this world is that they sample a taste of one, and then they never move on, they gorge, feast to their heart’s content on what has already made them fall in love.

The world will pass us by in a whimper, the slow but steady decay of our species is assured at some point in the future, we may believe it is a flash that has taken our lives but nature is not that kind, and it will be, if anyone is left to observe such an ending, one bought upon our heads by our own arrogance; our need to prove we are masters of our own destiny.

Gravity, in the end, will only pull us down, as Marillion noted in their haunting track The Only Unforgivable Thing, a reminder perhaps that we can only fly so long on the wings of promise, on the air currents of experience and dreams; eventually we have to consider that we may have flown too high, that like Icarus, we must be brought down to Earth and confront and assess our beliefs.

When the neon lights blaze, we cannot but be helped to be drawn to them, to witness the message they powerfully place into our minds, to acknowledge the subliminal mindset of advertising, or if we are more involved with the signals beaming down from outer space, the news that somewhere, somehow, someone Shot A Satellite and the repercussions are electric, bountiful and mysterious and full of intrigue for what is to come.

A good education is not just a right, it is the cornerstone of a civilised society, and yet between politicians, officials and high, often outrageous, demands from parents, school can become a chore, a place where learning is not fun, but a slog, one exacerbated by lack of investment, one in which the system is rigged against everybody concerned.

Ain’t No Man A Good Man; however, when the mood catches the wind in the right direction, when the pathos of our times is able to set the sky alight with flames and fury, then in these times, a great man comes to the crease and finds a way to offer a piece of their soul which will calm and soothe the nerves, that will enlighten and take the pressure off to such an extent that the sky, like the mind, itself clears.

Mercy comes not in the wake of violence, but in fearless gentleness afforded to those with humble minds and modesty weaved through their D.N.A., those who identify with the need for compassion, empathy of the times that the other may have withstood, and finally crumbled underneath, the generosity and quality that is, as the bard was persuaded to note, not strained, by temper or of spirit. Mercy is a right to all, it doesn’t mean that the action has been forgotten, but that is forgiven, understood.

When good things end, there is not much the reader can do except think back over the enormity of what they have mentally digested and rejoice in the life they have witnessed being unveiled, or weep silently at just how privileged they have been to be allowed time in someone else’s thoughts and reasoning.
