Lightly I spoke words that drifted thinly into meanings gusting squals on ice driving from A to B Freezing surfaces heated to molten flashes of fear desire revenge to face relationships that dominated Points echoed miles high creating a canopy of two encapsulated by many divided by all who could On railways tracks junctioning to be seen for miles around criss-crossing between signals powerful locomotion driven to nothing more than the sounds of a click-clack Where was the Old Oak that destroyed by rails driven by trains deadlines delivery that we side by side watched as we parted to meet again On some station some destination some journey |

It started on Chris Rea, moved to the film and standing by the old army camp by the "Scrubs Prison" looking out on what should have been a forest and is now a network of rails as we tell everyone else to stop destroying their forests. I have seen the film Chris but it was only at the back of my mind, but it is so powerful a performance in the film that although I tried to extract inner meaning, I still came, I suppose to almost the sub-conscious of it's meaning.

Fair Cop Lightly theme as below. Lightly There are no books I need to take for I may have memories at some point and they are distilled and carried. There are no words I want to take with me for they had no meaning apart from your endeavours to find something to get away with. I need no excitement to take with me when I leave for it stopped more than years I can remember. I need no faith to take with me you crucified everything I possessed not including the spirit that you attack but can not conquer. There is nothing I need to take from you because there is nothing from you. All I can take is the feeling that having lost everything, I have got away lightly. So lightly I will travel |

we don't even have railways here anymore... they turned them into biking paths since we had two huricanes in the 70's that destroyed the lines... enjoyed your words, Dave M |
