The pattern of my day has become ninety percent
the same, as the day before,
the day before, the day before,
repeated actions, a couple of games of Cribbage
to get the brain in gear, repeated actions,
an album of the day, in which to reminisce,
to remember you,
or someone that looks the same,
as you did back then,
in my memory,
the sense of new excitement
coursing through my veins,
as I undo a new recording

Legends never walk away, they simply roll up their sleeves, survey the world and its issues and then get to work placing down the observations and declaring that whilst the planet turns, we Ain’t Done Yet.
There is always work to be done, to provide change in the minds of those who feel left behind by the speed of the world, who are neglected by society, we have a moral duty to be legends in our own time to facilitate, to employ such dynamism that the phrase Ain’t Done Yet becomes not one of possible defeat, but of enormity grasped, that the resonance supplied by the extraordinary, such as the British Blues Band, Savoy Brown, becomes an electric explosion of good, of passion, and in which the connection to the legendary becomes tangible and complete.

We look back upon our life and see regrets, the misspoke words, the decision not fully endorsed, the anger, the kick of shame; these moments find ways to hang around us, even in the most blameless life, regrets turn into spectres, into phantasms that stay in our vision, taunting us, reminding us that we once created havoc, once we built a wall of mayhem for others to knock down.

Time has a curious hold over humanity, other creatures may adhere to nature’s environmental clock, somehow bringing life to the world on a specific day such as when flying ants take to the skies or when salmon return to their spawning grounds. However, humanity is defined by how its spends each hour, every minute, the days and years in which it is alive and is judged for it, is derided if one single second is misused or wasted in the pursuit of the wrong career, not enough exercise, not reading enough, throwing a day away without having created art; the knives come out and the loudest condemnation is unavoidably proclaimed.

Time goes by, they say it’s the time of your life, the best of days, the ones that you will look back upon with a fair degree of fondness; and yet there is also pain, suffering, the sense of alienation and fear that hides in those memories, the real sense of confidence taken apart, the spirit shattered, and as for the pupils, the first love’s kiss can be a mess, the promise of a future swept away. It is no wonder that when we look back at our days at school, depending on the mood we are in or the company we are keeping, we experience the high of the reminisce, the low of emotional recall.

Without a poets heart, life surely must be one steeped in unending anger, devoid of meaning, and one that does not bare thinking about. In every profession, from bricklaying to being a chef, from shop keeper to pottery maker, even in the heart of a politician, there must reside some element of the poet, the one that feels the glory and the pulse of passion that makes life, even in the darkest hour, one of beauty.

The sound of celestial balance being tilted may escape our ears, but the effect on our senses as we understand that Even Angels Fall, that cherubs, spirits and guardians can just as be prone to temptation as any human, that they may also tumble in the vacuum of enticement and lure, can be devastating, the fall is such that the noise rings out around the world and the shock wave is carried through our own souls.

It is perhaps not the threat of confinement, justice, or even morals that keeps the vast majority of society on the straight and narrow, but perhaps rather the fear of spending a portion of their life behind bars with Time for company. The trepidation is not the sense of the law exacting its revenge on you for your crimes, but the retribution sought by Time as it has the ability to make you feel the damnation of all that you may have destroyed, taken, and killed.

The phenomenon will always be with us, the occurrence of the cinematic event that manages to infiltrate almost every aspect of life and society is one that either is embraced or shunned with seemingly equal proportions. Whilst the Marvel Studio may have held the position of top dog in the last decade, the undisputed King of the block, it is to the characters of Elsa and Anna that the Queens of the Frozen franchise have infiltrated their way into theatre productions, the songs, the costumes, the public, arguably cannot get enough of the sisters, their snowman and the magic of their lives.

The song that revels in its ability to dig away into the emotions of happiness and the beginnings of melancholy is to be lauded and acknowledged. It is the sense of art imitating the mind, the sense of imposter syndrome that inflicts its tell-tale signs of destructive patterns and stating that nobody deserves to feel joy, when in actual fact the smile on somebody’s face should be the most paramount of expressions to behold.
