Old

Another tree shot.
This one was taken in Victoria Park in Bristol.
I uploaded the original shot a while back but I am experimenting/bored so I thought I would add some filters and textures.
I quite like it!!

A really good friend of mine, singer and songwriter Mike Bennett decided to write a piece to go with this.
I think it fits beautifully.

Old

Why should I clutter my world
With trying so much
When everything always returns
To what it is anyway

I should have done nothing
All these years
While my character blossomed
In the decay of maturity

I am old without regrets
That’s a good thing
For one so frustrated
By his own light

When I was asking questions
Writing everything down
Flowers were living and dying
Without giving a damn

They brought happiness
For a moment then went
I wish I would have got old
A long time ago
