two hundred years

 

two hundred years tilling this soil

my stiff knees

the last to bend

 

two hundred years of buried treasure

raised to the light

 

two hundred years in this garden

as night falls

again

We celebrate the fortieth anniversary of hoisting high the European Cup. It's great to see so many members of the winning team parade the trophy round Villa Park.

A time for great joy, yet also a time for great challenge. Can Villa ever rise to these giddy heights again?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

buried treasure

 

 

drained and empty

buried in the garden

lost from sight and mind

waiting

waiting for years

 

dug up and brought to the light

turned round and round

in our hands

a memory of time gone

slowly dissolving

before our eyes

 

 

 

the power of light

 

 

time has told me
