Thor's mysteries haunt darkened skies,
Lightning raptures in ambrosial highs,
Fronds spore into new life's glory,
Proudly preserving last years story,
Oaks mighty golden umber hues,
Where webs dance across lucent dews.
 
Inseminating planet's riches,
Coursing streams Dryad's stitches,
Resting her seed until flesh anew,
Flora she sleeps beneath earthy pews,
Peaceful swaddled beneath the soil,
Nature hibernates from her summer toil.
 
Winter's chastity bitterly bites,
Shadows cast long cold Autumn nights,
Dead wood flames lit dancing fires,
Winds howl across ghostly mires,
Flakes fall muted upon solid ground,
No movement nor sight or sound
 
The earth she slumbers dreaming deeply
Laying in wait so meekly
Rains patter amongst damp woody glades
Nursing nurturing viridian shades
Underneath the great timber bowers
Spring will sing welcome showers

See you again, Dear friend x

Well V, I'm celebrating my Mum's 102nd birthday today. Just thought I'd leave this for you, another Ram Dass quote...

“Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object.” ;)

Dear Vicki,
As I opened your letter in the sunshine to read, lyrics played in the background 'She floats now on a white cloud'. It was most surreal to read your words from the letter you never got to send, hearing your voice as I read. We spoke of the springtime, waiting to spend some time, whiling away hours of chat and laughter, getting our hands dirty among the flowers in your garden, just as you did mine, when I found my health failing me...Your springtime never came, we never got to say goodbye. It never is goodbye, more, until we meet again my friend.
Un bacio

Dear Vicky, a lifelong girlfriend! Will miss the laughs,love Paulxxxxx

You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.
