Stars Litter Parody

Who is like God?

Love was the father and love the mother.
You arrived in December, anticipating another Christmas
A reward in yourself rather than a present
A pilgrimage more than a journey
Because we cannot find love in ourselves
Only with another
And you were the purest love
The world of love in a moment
To complete the place that was prepared for you
A place shaped, breathed into, palpitating, anticipated for you
And you arrived linking Winter with Spring
A week after Mandela died and two days before his burying
You arrived, your hair already hinting of gold
Woven like the wealth of the Transvaal on the South African flag
You arrived to separate the before from the after
The Anno Domini
Dividing the past from the future
You arrived to say that there was no going back
As the Ukraine edged westwards
After the charge of the dark brigade in Crimea
And your mother wrote the gospel of your life
Like a scream of joy
As the Scribes and the Pharisees fled back to the Old Testament
Making way for the new covenant of love
Turning over and seeding the soil of hope
Too big an enterprise now for the old scythes and hoes
‘We need a tractor’ you said in almost your first words
And we realised that the lines and the furrows
Could mean happiness after all.

Roy Stannard for Michael’s Naming Day 21.8.16

Another home made song I've written called North Star. It's about how God is always constant, He is always in control even when we go through tough times, when we can't see the wisdom for the pain, and how we He is changing us and drawing us closer to trust Him more fully in the process.

How I Love You

I’m someone who doesn’t like parameters, barriers or fences. I’ll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don’t exist – until they don’t. Sometimes I’ll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I’ll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band – or one of the old ones. My Blog (www.roystannard.wordpress.com) will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure..

Because I am endlessly curious in people, their motivation, their behaviour and their quest for knowledge, I am working in a thriving Brighton ad agency that involves itself in a plethora of fun and games. We are called Zerofiftyone.

Nobody in advertising works, but we do play very seriously.
Sometimes as I stare out towards the English Channel I know that a great many activities would not have come into being if they hadn’t assembled quietly in my head first.

I can be reached at Zerofiftyone -  44 (0)1273 587446 roy@zerofiftyone.com / www.zerofiftyone.co.uk if some thoughts have started gathering in your head too. If those thoughts are even more baby-like, then text this number 07803 269154. I’ll call you.
