The Picnic

The warm sun trying to blaze through the blinds
As the cool air in the lounge room feel is unkind

But still there is anticipation
The day is new and fresh

All dark clouds have been gently blown away
There is a feel, tranquil and warm here today

The week end, the new friend has been found
Time to be home, time to free roam by the stream

There is a new glistening from the ripples it seems
As the blanket unfolds and the warm air now holds us

At peace.

A large glass of cool wine coats blue cheese
The rapture of laughter on the breeze.

Life's once again good.....

    AMAZING

    It's time to say goodbye to you
    Not quite a friend, but still I'm blue
    Your passing came as quite a blow
    We exchanged the odd and friendly mo'
    This side to you I did not share
    And so I joined the club in despair
    Silent now till such a time
    I discovered even this pain can rhyme
    And thru these words which seem to flow
    My heart can heal, I'll let you go
    Terry, a humour you did not lack
    May the coffee up there be strong and black

    In memory of Terry, security dude LEGEND and silent poet to many. Julie (today I was inspired to write this after reading my girlfriend's poetry). Terry was such a warm spirited and friendly being. He was a pleasure to know and obviously a very talented poet. RIP Terry.....
