When planets align.
I rose late to frosty rosy dawn
First low and dark it came
Then your words fell in like
Spring rain, and I was filled
With hope again
One day when aligned
All our planets will collide
Into a beautiful union and
The explosion - seen light years away
Will signal all suns
A new fire has begun

Recording for you Maddy..
Hello again,
I've started going through and recording some of these, this one was a particularly punch, not to sentimental, yet still evocative piece, so have made a recording of it here:

With your permission, we'll put it up on the NP site, if you like it, let me know.
Take care,
Cheers,
Chris
