Sunrise

If someone had told me I'd purposefully get up at 6am in the morning, on a Sunday, to go out into the cold to take a picture of the sunrise, I'd have laughed at them. Yet this morning, that's exactly what Mr Lovely and I did. And I'd do it again, and again, and again!!!

Despite getting soaked by a wave that came over the Cobb heavier than I expected, thank heavens I had waterproof gear on! we got several lovely images and watched a spectacular sunrise together.

It was the start to a really lovely day, and Mr Lovely treating me to lunch at the Harbour Inn - nearly had to be rolled home!

Such a lovely weekend. Is it really Monday tomorrow!!!!????


This one seemed appropriate after this weekend:

Unending Love

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, Selected Poems
