CANDLES AND CANTICLES

Candles and Canticles Candles and canticlesMesmerizing murmur Of the Holy RosaryPriestly prayers and incantationsThings I had heard beforeWhen papa was at death’s doorOnly for the livingTheseNo sense for him to hearNeverTook away the fearBetterTo leaveIn peace and tranquilitySomeone standing nearAlone we fight  to comeAndAlone we fight to go

Thoughtful you are

Longo, is that your name? If so it is a very interesting one. This poem I like, the way you set the music for the background at the beginning and let it colour the whole throughout and then leave it in the silence of aloneness. Yes I liked it. Yours Ann of Norway

A very little bischen I can understand and some because of the Norwegian similarity. Meilleure avec francais, quand même. Must fly Good night and sleep as well as you can love Ann
