Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

Sharing my poems on stage has always felt like an act of worship to me. When I was at university I used to feel guilty that I felt more in touch with God performing at a gig on a Saturday night than I did when I was struggling to stay awake in church the following morning. When I explained this to a student youth worker at the time, he explained as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, that is because you are getting in touch with God the creator (and I鈥檝e learnt to cut myself a bit more slack ever since).

听

This Wednesday will be the first time I perform on stage to an audience in 444 days. While that is mathematically quite a satisfying number, emotionally it is a more startling reminder of how much I have missed it, so I have written a new poem to celebrate this momentous occasion.

听

444

听

I鈥檝e been looking forward to this for 444 days

It鈥檚 been more that four seasons since I last performed on stage

And yet in 48 hours, those fortunes will all change,

Even a fortress of forklifts couldn鈥檛 force me away.

听

We won鈥檛 forget that foreboding as things headed for closure

But for now the forecast affords us more hope.

I鈥檒l feel more fortunate than a four-leafed clover

If folks left their four-poster and forayed their way over

听

Whether you鈥檙e a French Quatre (鈥渃at鈥�) or German facing your Vier (鈥渇ear鈥�)听

Out foraging, or out for a drink with your peers

It鈥檚 like formaldehyde - the way we are preserving art here

I鈥檝e waited for this for over a year

听

Here鈥檚 a formal invitation to join forces together

We are formidable when we forge these connections

We can reform our former world now we鈥檙e informed for the better

I hope to keep on performing forever.
