Will you come somewhere with me? Anywhere – Anytime

From Hexham through Hope Valley

In to the instant of forever’s envision of what we now see

Listen: Whistle play drifting way over the heather as young shepherd  is herding. And

Endeavour returning, Captain-mourning, aboard ship and playing, in rigging singing

Coalminer’s wedding, harvest time, christening, influx of navying, colloquial and invading.

Armies are marching, fishermen returning, seasons we are celebrating

The poor’s lot we are protesting, the ceilidh, the railway, the deep mine and the shearing

The moment of village life, the terror of sea’s strife, the happening moment of dance, chance, lament

Lets get together, be nuclear, a family, we are there – in that minute. Live it, be in it

These young souls are timeless and cry, “Bring it all back!”

Leap into the present, the future, the past

With the nowness of

The Pack!
