If
If only the world was flat
If only the skies were green
Are ifs for fools
to break the rules
and change the way things seem?
NaPoWriMo 2019 – Day 5
The impossible dream
Cry your unbearable sorrow
Smile your incredible smile
Dream the impossible dream
Open your mind, look around
Close your eyes for a while
Cry your unbearable sorrow
Lightly tread; make no sound
Heavy heart from the trial
Dream the impossible dream
Run wild your ship aground
Walk softly down the aisle
Cry your unbearable sorry
High time to be crowned
Low beginnings to greater style
Cry your unbearable sorrow
Dream the impossible dream

NaPoWriMo 2019 – Day 1
Disinstruction
Don’t look up!
But… the stars
Don’t look down!
But… the flowers
Stand steady or all in a spin
The simplest joys but a whisker away
Sisterz
My lovely sister, Debbie, has made it onto WordPress – Yay! Here we are with Dad (me on the right of the pic).
Debz makes cakes, and very scrumptious they are, too.
Pop over to Debz Cakes, Bakes and Me, take a peek at her yummies (not a euphemism) and give her a great big friendly welcome 🙂
Altered Images
I wonder why, I wonder when
Our world will be turned upside down
With boxes packed and things moved round
The creatures staring without sound
They wonder, too, of me and you.
I wonder when, I wonder why
Things change about us by and by
Boxes unpacked and items set
In places which we might forget
We wonder, too, of things we do.
When is the now, Why is the wonder
Couples torn and ripped asunder
New loves come and take their place
Where briefly there was empty space
Wondrous gifts which we behold.
Why? Because of items moving
When? Next Saturday, of our choosing
We’ve tidied up and made some room
Rosewood dresser, table soon
Chinese altar, all will grace our fold.
NB: ‘Couple’s torn and ripped asunder’. An armchair had to go!
Chaos
I’ve just won a ticket to a lyric-writing session with Chris Difford of Squeeze! So I’ve been looking through my lyrics.
These are from one of my tracks called “Order out of Chaos” (formerly “Chaos” until I put some order to it!)
About “Chaos”
Another collab with Jip, with me adding the vibes, pad of the orient, flute and vocals.
From the original da da da da das before I came up with any lyrics, I wasn’t happy with any of the melodies. This is the result of me getting bored with it and un-muting all the practice vocal tracks! Enjoy xox
You are like an ocean to me
Searching depths that no one must see
Stormy times
You are so very calm and clear
But murky secrets you hold dear
Steamy crimes
On the surface, so receptive
Underneath, highly deceptive
Darkness falls
Emotions caught in disarray
You cannot be who you portray
The siren calls
Each drop of life
That drops into your ocean
Ripples with love
Bounds into your heart
Expanding
As all is one
Currents pull you down so deeply
Chaos drags you so completely
In your mind
But deeper still, it’s in your eyes
Your surface tells your deep desires
Forever change
Your hopes and dreams drift with the tide
Never the same, your worlds collide
You’re rearranged
Each drop of life
That drops into your ocean
Ripples with love
Bounds into your heart
Expanding
As all is one
You can find the track on Soundcloud/Janegoldsack or Alonetone.com/ladyjane
Bubble Rapt
What’s this? A bandwagon? Don’t mind if I do!
I’ve just published my first book!
Bubble Rapt is a selection of short stories with a twist to leave you all tangled up like a tangly thing. The stories are mostly by me, bar one, which is extra special.
I’ve popped in a true tale by my Dad, Ray Goldsack, as he always wanted to be published, but didn’t quite get round to it before he died. There you go, Dad. It would have been his 79th birthday yesterday 🙂
Find out what happens to Robert, the coy carp, and Little Molly Plankton, and why Jenny Sanders is so Bubble Rapt!
You know you want to!

Here in Milton Keynes
The roads are aitches and vees
Hidden by the trees
Morning text
Because I’m a dizzy doozy at the moment. I wouldn’t normally share my texts, but this morning’s are a bit special 🙂
From he to me
Loving you with all my heart and soul
Take care, my darling, please be whole
Step lightly and take Nature’s wine (H2O)
And I hope today you will be fine.
Xxxxxxxxx❤️xxxxxxxxxX
From me to he
I found it hard when time was due
For me to wake and start day through
My mind was fuzzy, body shook
Not in a way where I could ‘up’
I’ve had a shower, taken meds
But whoozy, doozy in my head
I’ll go to work and play the martyr
Look forward to the evening’s start … Er
Poetic licence, I took there
So you, my dear must alst take care
Drive carefully, with eyes on road
And easy when you shed your load!
Loves you, Babaloo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
