Reindeer and Pâté

Reindeers and pâté

 

[To my dear friend’ Ann]

 

 

 

I loved to hear

 

And

 

Feel with delight

 

The words you sang

 

Of goose down wrapped

 

In a cold Winter’s night

 

Snow covered timber roofs

 

A fire burning inside

 

To keep the chill away

 

The days at Gro’s

 

The Salads

 

Fish

 

French cheeses,

 

Wines and pâté

 

The sway of Autumn leaves

 

As a reindeer passed by

 

The Nordic lights that filled

 

A Scottish soul

 

With the joys of life

 

These gifts you did give to me

 

In my moments sad and dark

 

I long to listen once again

 

To your lyrics young and bold

 

And share these times

 

Once more

 

As we two grow old.

But the heart is forever falling.... My love to you and Ann, forever united in that space where we all *land*. Light, Anna "There is a kind of mysticism to writing." ~ Irvine Welsh

Your comment above here leaves me no choice but to agree

Ann of Norway SCREW THE NEXT!!! I have of course responded to this elsewhere, and am full of emotion on reading it, as you well know, my dear, dear friend, I cannot say more here, what do you want? I thank you as you thank me, the reciprocation of our sense of life has given me so much too, and with you, my heart will always fly true, into the future dreams and sorrows with boldness and joy, because of you. I thank you Longobardolino, Guiseppe Joe, for all you mean to me. Annuccia. Just you wait and see, Im not finished yet by a long chalk, life has to get a better battering from me before I've done-wi-it!!!!
