Rejuvination by Ewart Richards

Time-ravaged debris of history
makes memories linger.
Memories of a new beginning
in a new world.

New horizons, new adventures,
New wealth.

They brought the sea in
to take coal, iron and steel out,
And built blocks of grey stone houses
For the peoples of the world,
And named it,
‘Tiger Bay’

What was new is now old,
memories of better times,
for some.

Once again the time has come
for a new beginning in an old world.

They built a barrage to keep the sea out
and a lake in.
Warehouses are now swish apartments
And glass fronted offices.
It has a new name,
'Cardiff Bay’.

New horizons, new adventures
New wealth.
