Bright pavements, dark shadows ...



Summer was coming to the banjos - 

The metal doors of the lock up garages behind my parents' house were warm to the touch - 

A handsome cat basked in the Sunday morning sunlight - 

She looked at me with her ancient yellow eyes -  

On the way to the church with my mum and dad, I heard birdsong from the rooftops - 

The shutters of the shops were lifted - 

The sun cast shadows upon the pavement, a lamp post, a pollarded tree - 

My mum wore a light blue jacket -

Canon Tom held her hand - 

Bless you he said -
