Walking through clouds of memories 
Flooded fields reflect clarity
In blue skies overhead.
A time for conversations with 
Distant friends that,
Despite the gap, flow freely 

“All’s good and everyone’s well,
except poor Tom who passed away; 
we’re still at it anyway
each and every Tuesday”.
Before the year is out I promise; 
Each of the last ten.
