Flowers

When I was young, very young, there were flowers all around, I guess - I didnt notice them


When I was older I moved to London and there was concreate and brick and filth all around and I noticed in the cracks in the paving small flowers and, with the sight of them, my heart filled with joy


And then I moved and there were flowers and plants all around and, with the presence of them, I feel my heart fill with joy


I see the paving slabs now with no flowers and the joy is the same


And now, so often, I shut my eyes and just notice all that is there and I realise that my heart is already filled with joy - the flowers and the stories and the music are the twinkles on the top.
