Dawn on Whitley Bay beach in the UK.

Golden fire wakes the land,
Stone and tide by light are fanned.
Shadows flee the amber tide,
Daylight breaks the night’s last stride.

Clouds like dragons breathe and glow,
Whispers rise where the currents flow.
Dawn has come, and her silence sings.
A flame that stirs all living things.

“Nothing quite like the calm, reassuring presence of George Dixon in Dixon of Dock Green. A reminder that sometimes, the best crime-solving isn’t about action or drama—it’s about listening, understanding, and doing what’s right. Classic British telly at its finest. #DixonOfDockGreen #ClassicTV”

Meat Loaf’s 1983 album saw him without Jim Steinman, leading to a rawer, less grandiose sound. The label refused to fund Steinman’s songs (which later went to Bonnie Tyler & Air Supply). A mixed bag, but tracks like the title song & Razor’s Edge still rock! #MeatLoaf #Rock

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time, it waits for nobody
Nobody

Time - Freddie Mercury

I heard Sinatra calling me through the floorboards
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme
To the jukebox crying in the corner
While the waitress is counting out the time
