I share your joy of the beautiful world expressed so simply in your words today. Natures beauty needs no words of finery or embellishment when recounted to those who have felt that crunch of frosted grass and sunlights rays upon their face,

A good write Gold.
My poem goes: \'Each bit of ground covered in wet mud\'. I knew I should have worn me wellies. Doh!
I had to turn back once. Some Riding Stables near a country lane. I would have sunk in a bog of manure.

Good Evening Uncle Andy ~ A very wise & thought provoking Poem today. As you said in one of your replies *Graciousness in Defeat is less common in the Young than in Seniors who have more Experience* Despite our Youth ~ Angela & I try to have as our MANTRA ~ In Life & Love *Better to have TRIED & LOST ~ than never to have TRIED at all !*. The Olympics (which we love) have Silver & Bronze & *The Taking Part* as ample compensation for NOT getting GOLD ~ BUT ~ in the Presidential Race ~ there are no SILVER MEDALS ! WE always thought TRUMP was Spoiled - Arrogant - Selfish & a Bad Loser ~ NOW WE KNOW ! Thank GOD it hasnt stopped JOE & MALALA from smiling (see our Poem) and enjoying their Awesome Victory. Long may they REIGN ~ AMEN
Thanks for sharing a classic Video ! PD singing *E Luchevan Le Stelle* from Tosca .......
And the Stars were shining
And the Earth was scented
Fragrant She entered
And fell into my Arms !
Very romantic & very poignant
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela Brian & Smokey 💛💛💛

Oh yes, we have to be big enough and ugly enough to take it on the chin when it comes our way. All that makes us a more rounded human being. Being able to laugh at ones self is highly recomended too.

Now depending what you are referring to, I obviously don\'t mind winning, but also believe there is much value in a loss. To win I learn nothing, when I lose an argument, debate, I\'ve learnt much if i\'m receptive to it.
Take it easy, Andy

Gracious in defeat - the mark of a gentleman (and a lady) . If only a certain adolescent politician would act this way.

You get my vote , Andy. your piece locates music\'s role perfectly.
I\'ve taken the liberty (as I have several of your previous introductions) of passing the music link onto my lady. We will also negotiate over Cinema Paradiso - and, who knows, see it during the Festive Season.
Take care Dave

Some have the gift of embodying emotion into their creative pieces be they music, visual art, movies, the written word or the spoken word. Any soul who has reached into themself at a time of deep emotional unrest will find themselves in harmony with any such piece.
Morricone was outstanding in his ability to amplify the pathos of screenplay. The emotion of his work lives on outside the cinema environment as can be felt here.
Earlier this year at his passing i listened to several of his moving compositions and yes felt the emotions they convey. A great musician, unfairly overlooked.

I too, have at times looked up and wondered what may be looking back down at little old us - we conqueror\'s supreme, of all that we see, with our legacies of sandhill empires,
so I can relate with those wonderings captured within your words, what truly awaits at that final arrival gate...
a though provoking write!

Hi Andy,
Very nice. I have a similar place.
I call it “the orchard on a hill”
An apple orchard near where I live.
I take my dog for walks there I stop and do that as your poem.
Best Regards

beautiful! not purely for its raw sentimental elements but moreover for its hopeful tone of acceptance and also expectance, that this flesh and blood existence is not the final chapter of your love,

And together we walked along Our River
Walked in harmony,\'

A bit embarrassing with Ch...card list, if we may not see people (live too far away, etc) and they have passed on, but we still keep churning out cards for them.
Well, if there is no way of knowing - they may have lived alone, or partner not informed us of their passing.

Hi Andy,
A lovely poem.
Thank you.
I was listening to the late photographer Terry O Neill\'s interview on Desert Island Discs the other day.
If he hadnt been a photographer he would have been a jazz musician that was his earliest ambition.
