I avoided a banana skin, in the road for all to see Yellow and black and slippery, it could have derailed me It would have stroked my ego, scaling a lofty height Status and importance, well within my site But truth be said my soul cried out, to maintain a different way Colour, life, new energy, definitely here to stay I really don’t seek the profile, I really don’t seek fame To continue my current trajectory, an outrageously noble game If I climb up on a pedestal there’s only 1 way to go Crash, bang, wallop down to earth, everyone will know So I’m grateful for the banana skin, that it came into my life I didn’t need the tension, I didn’t need the strife So please bare with me, let me serve where life and glitter flow Feeding my soul and others around, a healing seed to sow It’s time to live again John Lowton January 2023
