What Does It Mean – 2nd February 2026

What does it mean

To make a mistake

With love at the centre

Like stealing a loaf of bread

To feed your starving family

If love is at its core

Then does it cover

A multitude of sins

Surely it must

If there is ever going

To be meaningful change

That breaks free from

The shackles of the past

And change the world

But start with yourself

And know that it is

Hard to change the clothes that

Your parents gave you

Another poem musing on morality. Things were black and white as a child; right and wrong were easy to discern. As you get older, you hopefully discover that life is a gradient of grey.

Speaking of grey, here is a view of a local field. Beautiful isn’t it?
