There I was
Just sitting in a chair,
The glory of Nature
Shining around me.
Lunch eaten
Coffee to hand.
The morning spent
Showing newcomers
The Art of Croquet.
Great fun,
Many laughs
Had by all.
Such sincere thanks
When they came to the end,
Off they went.
There was I,
On my own,
Sitting in a chair,
At home with Nature.
Nature’s green land
Surrounding me.
There were few bird sounds
So I uplifted my life
By listening,
Listening to Satie.
His Gymnopedies sailed
Sailed through my heart
To join Nature’s realm,
Augmenting its wonderful glory.

Your verse oozes peace and what a number to relax with dear Andy
I was at peace and wrote this where I was sitting by the croquet lawns.

Satie's work is so simple yet so beautiful. Written for ease of play for children yet these gymnopodies manage to have such depth of feeling.
They also sound great upon flute.
It certainly is beautiful d a, so much can be heard in so little. I have played them on clarinet and that sounds quite good as well.

You do fill this place with some lovely music and frame these nicely with your words.
