Finding my way around...

I have just been given the key of the Abbey, and have spent the day exploring all its wonders. What refreshment for the spirit.
If no one minds, I'll park my little caravan near the sea, and watch the moon rise over the Abbey. In another week or so the moon will be full, and how beautiful this place will look, bathed in its light.

MIDNIGHT MUSIC

Music murmurs at midnight,
A medley round the moon.
Making madness for a moment,
The morrow comes too soon.

A million makeshift moments
Make a life, a madman’s rune,
As mysterious as the moon,
The mad and merry music of the moon.

I'll put the billy on. You're welcome to a cuppa.

I am a total sucker for alliteration. Beautiful sounds, beautiful words. Be welcome in these blessed halls.

A very nice scene come to life - the moon is mysterious - merry music to you.

I would share with you, a cup of moonbeams
in a silent garden.

Hello Gail,

Welcome to the sometimes peace and quiet of the Abbey (not always when Costello is about.)

I knew a Gale Kauffman here in NJ some years back. Guess it wasn't you, huh?

Thanks for the lovely word picture, I joined you, silent as a star, the night was too peaceful conversation.

A warm welcome Gail. If anyone sees a figure leaving the Abbey it will be me heading towards that little caravan you have parked near the sea. I do so love a cuppa.
