The Storm

I keep looking back – for that one thing – that used to make me smile – non-existent – if only for a while – I could find that smile again
Keep Pumping through the files in my Vortex – realized that smile – was a reflex – was anything worthwhile - or was my time spent here in vain.
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning – baby dry eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..
When there just aint nobody calling – not listening – nor even paying attention – what’s the fucking point – Why do we hold on
There’s no need to catch me while I’m falling – it’s already written in his story – aint no turning back – I must be moving on……
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning – baby dry your eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..
Though I’m no longer here babe I see you – I’ve never loved you more so I freed you – I'm right here by your side – You’re going to make it through this storm
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning –  Baby dry your eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..

Lyrics:

Lockers slam, final bell rings clear,
Perfume and sweat, emotions sincere
Tim's goofy grin, Jack's quiet nod,
Friends since childhood, now paths odd
If only I knew, this moment I'd chase

Time slips away, like sand through our hands
The future unknown, as we make our plans

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
If I'd known then what I know now
I'd hold on tighter, somehow
To these precious lasts

Grandpa's den, pipe smoke curls,
Cards snap, his laughter unfurls,
Weathered hands, stories untold,
Moments more precious than gold
If only I'd known, I'd change that night

Time slips away, like sand through our hands
The future unknown, as we make our plans

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
If we'd treasured then what we've lost now
I'd hold on tighter, somehow
To these precious lasts

Grandpa's den, pipe smoke curls,
Cards snap, his laughter unfurls,
Weathered hands, stories untold,
Moments more precious than gold
(Moments more precious than gold)
If only I'd known, I'd change that night

Time slips away, like sand through our hands
The future unknown, as we make our plans

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
If we'd treasured then what we've lost now
I'd hold on tighter, somehow
To these precious lasts
(These precious lasts)

Shadows lengthen, day fades to night
Memories flicker like candlelight
Each passing second, a gift in disguise
Open your heart, open your eyes

City lights flicker, radio hums our song
One last hug, 'See you soon,' feels so wrong
'We have all the time,' he said with a smile
If only we knew, we'd talk for a while
In photographs and fading scents
The love in each moment we spent

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
Now I know what I wish I'd known then
I'll hold on tighter, again and again
To these precious lasts
(These precious lasts)

Life's rich tapestry, woven with care,
Threads of lasts, love everywhere,
These precious lasts
We'll always have
These precious lasts
In every goodbye, a hello waits there

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
Now I know what I wish I'd known then
I'll hold on tighter, again and again
To these precious lasts

Precious lasts

Unrecognized Goodbyes

poem / copyright jo richter:

Galen fand die Säfte innen, Kneipp
aussen und Schauberger liess sie
wirbeln, Hahnemann schütteln: Blut und
Lymphe, Laune und Gemüt. Aus

der inneren Umwelt, der äusseren
Inwelt strömt und färbt sich das
Geschick in den Wassern: Zu deuten
aus Treibgut und gelösten Erden,


die als Schicksal verwirklicht ein
Leben sind. Das war es, was ihnen
zwischen den Fingern zerrann: Ach,
Heraklit wusste um kein Ende
des einzigen Stroms, der in jedem
Dasein mündet - und aus ihm quillt.

Loaded Gun

And here it is! The mix I said I was going to do, so, glad to say, "No Bullshit was spread this time!!!"
Not the theme I'd intended though, the title was going to be something insulting towards DPD, or parcel delivery companies in general! but I decided not to, they're still getting slated though, Here!  Because they fucking deserve it!!!
I wasted good time, writing instructions on where to leave the parcel, and how to access the security door, up to 15:00pm, so as I was leaving work, I checked my email, only to be informed that they were delivering it to a collection locker!  The previous evening, I viewed a list of lockers near to me, there were two that were 10 minutes or less walking distance from me, but No, they didn't take it to one of those, instead it was one, located on the outskirts of town!!!  I typed postcode into google maps, it said it would take 27 minutes to walk there!  It actually took me, 39 minute to walk there, sort my parcel, and walk home again!  It took longer for me to stop sweating lol 😹
So either, the driver never read my instruction, lied about the attempted delivery, or couldn't understand English! The time of the attempted delivery was logged as 14:48 so all he had to do was press a fucking button, walk halfway up some fucking stairs and throw the parcel at my front door! Useless fucking tosspot, they  just mar the excellent service that is provided by the company they're delivering for!!!
Still nowhere near as bad as Arsel force though! 🤣 who ironically are part of royal mail, they are so bad, that it is not possible to speak to a real person! And I actually lost the plot to an automated phone call! Lol  Royal Mail are great, I never have any problems with them 🙏⭐💖🍺🦞

I Gave It A Go, But It's A NO NO NO

With many thanks to Don, who made the most, I just added some instruments
