The Horse With the Red Umbrella

Neville

The Horse With the Red Umbrella

 

Two worlds linked perhaps

but only one

   precious moment recalled ..

Pray do take

notes tho’ since the horse

with the red

umbrella, is much more than

just closely

   juxtaposed to yours truly ..

And my word

how it does sadden me so

when I drive

or I choose to stroll with my

limp along that

famously narrow causeway,

with those spires

   firmly in situ, all around us ..

As indeed, I do now

solemnly turn to face yet one

more green county

with my freedom intact and I

no longer fear

     looking back over my shoulder ..

      She was always,

      such a loser any day and anyway ..

                A note of sweet sadness, but that is not the proper word, it also contains a feel of satisfaction and reluctant completion. Complex as all relationships are it paints the picture well. Have a great trip and I will anxiously await your return

                • Neville



                  Many thanks indeed my friend .. I did not think I would still be here now but my wife's discharge did not take place .. fingers crossed for tomorrow .. Take care while I am hopefully away & here's me wishing you & your clan all the very best for 2025 .. Neville

                  • sorenbarrett

                    And a happy new year to you and your wife

                        I love the title, and for some reason felt compelled to google it. What I found was a delightful little history of the teashop with the same name. It seems to speak of the constancy of a place, contrasted with the inconsistancy of people. I love the way you have framed this, beautifully done.

                        • Neville



                          I was hoping maybe a few more might have delved thus .. tis not too far from my haunting grounds .. thank you Bella & then some .. Neville

                          Good write, Neville Don't look back something might be gaining.

                          • Neville



                            Cheers Jez .. unfortunately I'm no further going than I was yesterday .. my wife's discharge has been delayed .. any tips on how to prevent a cruise ship from leaving besides making out like a hurricane ..

                          • Tristan Robert Lange

                            I am glad your wife has been discharged from hospital, that is good news indeed! Also glad you two are going on what sounds to be a much needed vacay. I will also try to enjoy 2025 but, with that said, I do hope you are not away the ENTIRE year! 🀣 I will miss reading you, but wish you both well on your time away together, my friend! πŸ™β€οΈ

                            • Neville



                              Unfortunately, she has not yet been discharged .. yesterday was a fiasco .. a whole day on red alert & now wasted .. if it happens today then we might still make it but thanks for the good wishes which I hope you know are reciprocated .. take care and ta for the thumbs up mate .. Neville

                            • Bella Shepard

                              Hope all will be well with your wife and your time off.

                                    I was enjoying and was wondering but the answer was timed so perfectly. FREEDOM
                                    you do good with such a unique style.
                                    Inimitable

                                    • Neville



                                      Thanks a million Bobby .. Neville
