In the grounds of our Emmaus
Old Portslade village, Sussex way
stands proud a wooden sculpture
of a seagull tall and gay
…
The ‘Big Gay Gull’ was built for ‘Pride’
a diverse celebration
in partnership with charities
for summer jubilation

Someone I have never met
humbled me today
posted comment on my blog
with what they had to say
Tears they trickled as I read
with joy and pleasure there
And the tugging of my heartstrings
was way beyond compare

We’ve walked a hundred miles
my brother Dave and me
The South Downs Way from Winchester
to Eastbourne by the sea
And when we reached the signpost
at the end we both agreed
that the feeling of achievement
was very good indeed

Brighton saw a rainbow
but there wasn’t any rain
Throngs lined all the city streets
And Pride shone bright again

wish anger
were a whisper of breeze
a bubble of tender death
not rain drops
pinching in grand unison
upon roof of the tender mind

They say it’s wise
to pick your battles,
to avoid the conflict
and preserve the peace.
But what of honesty, what of pride
can be preserved in the face of opposition?
There is something to be said in pride –
there is a pride in being honest with the world,
with one’s self.
One cannot sleep in a bed with
dishonesty between the sheets.

You were the first man
Who loved me
Who held me
The first man who cared if I was okay
The first man who came running when I needed you
My first Santa Claus
My first guidance counselor
My first couch date
The first man to lay down the law
The first man first rate.

I am sore from stretching
to be as tall
Tired of listening to your music
and dreaming ….
I should too
