The longest day and the shortest night
and though overcast
and far from right
weather wise
the Cotswold souls
met up again
to relive their roles
the talking stick had its special place
to hear the news
and share the space
wrapped up in Salisbury air and plain
enshrined by Sarsons
once again
it was lovely to meet chums again
clad in cloaks
a druidic chain
of evenness and blessings shared
the certainty that time had spared
all so pleased to meet and greet
to hear good news
It was for me a treat
To see you all
and chat away
The juices flowed
and it made the day
perfect really
the cud we chewed
the trees around
of course we viewed
all sorts of greens
Grass moss verdure
Lime and greengage ever pure
ideas exchanged
stories told
each soul worth their weight
in gold
our Cotswold tribe
they are the best
Discover, invest
true colours test
the eyes, the heartstrings
everywhere
vivid colours
born to share
knowledge of the Cotswold kind
does things to a tired old mind
Injects some love, some joy some care
veraciously we became aware
of missing each other
this Covid thing
torn apart hearts couldn’t sing
before the lockdowns and the rest
but today folks seeing you all
was best.
I love you all
your facets gleam
You are nicer than the best ice cream
seeing everyone of you
really made my dreams come true
