To bring us to the end of our year The Time of rest is here at least for a while Thoughtful journeys of discovery Has us enjoying new places In each stop we gave a heartfelt thanks For helping us travel to this place of joy October winds scud across caravan grey skies Leaving a montage of images flooding our heads Dangerous narrow lanes formulate hand held maps Dancing on the edge of troupes of clowns or farmers Giving the land its final tidy before winter slips its icy fingers Around nature's final gasp of warmth Your stone like toes in steel toe capped boots Are no protection from the freezing rime. Suddenly the sun breaks through the tiniest Break in the battleship grey overcast All too soon it is gone as the cloud heals To keep the weak orange light from destroying the Blanket of darkness on the cosmic washing line

Last of the year
To bring us to the end of our year The Time of rest is here at least for a while Thoughtful journeys of discovery Has us enjoying new places In each stop we gave a heartfelt thanks For helping us travel to this place of joy October winds scud across caravan grey skies Leaving a montage of images flooding our heads Dangerous narrow lanes formulate hand held maps Dancing on the edge of troupes of clowns or farmers Giving the land its final tidy before winter slips its icy fingers Around nature's final gasp of warmth Your stone like toes in steel toe capped boots Are no protection from the freezing rime. Suddenly the sun breaks through the tiniest Break in the battleship grey overcast All too soon it is gone as the cloud heals To keep the weak orange light from destroying the Blanket of darkness on the cosmic washing line
