The Colour of Time - Part 7

 

The next time Dora of Wye returned to the Temple she had grown a few palms as had Rascal, the dog, who was not a puppy any longer.

As soon as she set foot on a little round plateau in the middle of the Temple the white guardian ghost with the thundering voice emerged from the sheep clouds in the blue sky.

'So, little Dora, you have returned. Can you tell me what the colour of time is?'

Dora made a guess and said Coral.

The guardian answered with a bell-bright and yet friendly laughter.

'No, it is not. Write that in your book, little Dora. You are not ready. Come back when you are.'

'So, that is Boston,' the llama said.

'It was,' said Bromford, the bard, and started singing another song.


"Bromford To Calm"

This velvet-lined silver box
Rests with me around the clock
Through coloured glass, a piercing dawn
Through broken glass I watch the night fall

Conflict looms in a blood-red sky
A child cries seeking mother's eyes
Just a fleeting sound of silence please
The day must end praying on your knees

Tired of waiting for the Bromford to Calm
We huddle together and pray for no harm
The flickering light signals the alarm
Oh please don't let it be me
Oh please don't let it be me

Trying hard to stay awake
I'm running fast trying to make the last gate
But lo and behold here I stand
Out of time with my head in my hands

The sweat runs down my desperate face
I'm stumbling on my old rotten legs
The heavy winds build strong their walls
Push me back, no joy at all

Tired of waiting for the Bromford to Calm
We huddle together and pray for no harm
The flickering light signals the alarm
Oh please don't let it be me
Oh please don't let it be me

Today is Sunday, the 7th of December 2025.
Second Sunday of Advent
