Friday on my mind

friday on my mind
farewell lead singer
today is the first day
twenty sixteen
two thousand and sixteen
friday on my mind
friday today
a begining of some kind

yesterday
the beach house
heat wave stillness no breeze
my hosts go for a swim
I am handed a frosty fruit icicle
on a stick
I stay in the air-conditioning

today
stillness in the quiet of pre dawn
trying to avoid the oncoming heat
afraid of the sun whilst admiring its strength
its ability to beat
I plead to who ever will listen
please make the heat wave go away
not just for this day
and bring back weather
of near perfection

I go outside pre dawn
my pleading to who ever will listen has been answered
the sea is choppy
the trees thrashing
and  it is almost blowing a gale
some would say even chilly
thank you who ever listened
