Back Together Again

Ah, there you are, long time no see

High rubbing elbows, and smiles of glee

I feel so good

I knew I would

Back together again, and drinks by the sea

Back Together Again

The Lexicon – A library of Dreams

It’s been a long time, but the doors are open

Here happy faces, showing smiley emotion

I pick and choose

No time to lose

The sun shines bright, and the day is golden

A place of wonder

The Lexicon, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin

Birthday Boy

Birthdays come, but once a year

Time for wishes, and happy cheer

Raise a glass

Have a laugh

Thank you all, I love you dear!

Cheers!

Evening Comes

Evening comes silently, so warm and true

Crepuscular light spreads, in shades of blue

Bring on the night

As light takes flight

A new day is coming, and there’s much to do

Shades of Blue..

Turn the Page

It was definitely time to turn the page, I thought, as I stepped into Book Deals on Lower George’s Street, Dun Laoghaire. Like so many shops that seemed to have been closed forever it was a real treat to once again browse, shuffle about and enjoy a familiar experience. The owner, Dave Cassidy, and known as ‘The Librarian’ for his encyclopaedic knowledge of books, was busy, but made time for a quick chat with shoppers. The shop is full of new books, and if you are looking for a deal – 3 books for €10 – then you’ve found a new home. I actually overheard someone say ‘The place is cheaper than Amazon,’ and that’s about as good as it gets!

Sailing

I’m on the water, only place to be

With canvas flapping, a sight to see

‘Neath an azure sky

Small clouds float by

Oh what a thrill, to again feel free

Sail on…

Into the Light

A time of darkness, is almost done

For you and me, and everyone

The days grow longer

We’re getting stronger

And into the light, we gladly run

Into the Light

A nd all expecting, a warm upswing

Y es, it’s time to chance

B eam wide and dance

E njoy the air, and have a fling!
