The use of slate
\nWithin this quarry
\nEvidence of soul
\nIt’s natural and organic
\nNature’s in control
\nIt’s just the living landscape
\nAnd CAT has shown the way
\nBy using it for building
\nA vibrant part of every day
\nAnd night, and it produces
\nA valid skin that we
\nVisitors can marvel at
\nConstructed avidly<\/p>\n
A backdrop for creative verve
\nWalls and pathways stand
\nThe course of time
\nThey roll and climb
\nFashioned off the land
\nIt really is appealing
\nTo the heart and to the eye
\nWith all its myriad uses
\nWhich I think is why<\/p>\n
Its use is really perfect
\nIt’s soft and says it all
\nTHe slate At CAT and how it’s used
\nProves to me they are on the ball
\nThe plant ways the construction
\nThe focus and the power
\nThe energy
\nThe synergy
\nIs with us every hour<\/p>\n
The vibrancy is telling
\nIt’s thrilling to be sure
\nIt’s everything you could imagine
\nRight outside your door
\nAnd the people
\nThey are caring
\nSharing
\nDaring
\nFaring well
\nThey teach
\nThey reach
\nThe root the stalk the leaves the flower
\nThe store<\/p>\n
Of vital information
\nSpreads outdoors and beyond
\nIt really is a vital place
\nIt’s as if a magic wand
\nIs used but
\nDedication and hard work
\nJust graft and soul
\nA coming together
\nOf great ideas
\nIt’s togetherness
\nA role<\/p>\n
Each really gives to others
\nInspires them to take part
\nCAT is here
\nAnd it’s very clear
\nIt’s because it is all heart
\nIt’s everything to everyone
\nIt works with Nature to
\nGive back and share experiences
\nWhich are workable and true<\/p>\n
You can feel it’s tried and tested
\nIt’s like a symphony
\nIt’s artistic
\nIt’s realistic
\nIt’s where I want to be
\nI am old now
\nBut the tendrils of youth
\nRemind me, I
\nCan go home tomorrow
\nWith a twinkle in my eye<\/p>\n
The need for me to bother
\nWith some compost
\nWith some will
\nTo give back to Mother Earth
\nSome value and to instil
\nIn others to sow a seed or two
\nInspire my youth again
\nNot grumble about Chem trails
\nOr showers of acid rain
\nGet out there and be positive
\nGrass cuttings now I know
\nWith Cotton towels and knowledge<\/p>\n
That I can make and grow
\nA compost that is vibrancy itself
\nFor me to show
\nA living organic medium
\nFashioned by me alone
\nOld and tired and full of aches
\nSomething I wouldn’t have known<\/p>\n
If I had not visited CAT
\nSo go there and be inspired as I was<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
