A Walk, A Coffee, And Alone
Little Cyndi has gone home
Here I am, again alone
The house is strangely quiet
I feel coffee and cake is on the diet
Late afternoon, and I’ll go for a walk
To my favourite cafe, where the magpies squawk
A stroll in the winter sun
And remember, I am not the only one
Reflect on life’s good times
And rekindle, my memories and rhymes
Above: The walking path close to my house, and the sunset as I was approaching home.
Above: Cyndi, yes it’s going home time……

You might be walking by yourself but you are never alone! Your wordpress family is just in your back pocket (where I assume you put your phone๐). โค๏ธ

Aw, Cyndi leaves a huge hole in your life when she has to leave again. ๐ฆ When Cooper has to go to the vet for blood-testing, or to the groomer to get his nails done and his hair did (Ha!), it’s just for a few hours, but life is too lonely and quiet without him.
Beautiful photos, sweet-emotion-filled poem, wonderful song!
So many people are with you in spirit and in heart, Ivor, so you are not completely alone. ๐ And you have the sun and clouds in the day, and the moon and stars at night! ๐
HUGS!!! ๐
PS…what kind of cake did you have?!?!?!

The cake was a Lemon, Almond and Brandy Cake… yummy…!! I’m ok, but the quietness is deafening, so I’ve turned my music up, and I’m listening Lisa Hannigan playing this cute song from the Botanical Gardens in Melbourne, such a sweet Irish girl

Think there may be a problem with that link – it sent me to ‘How was video made’ and I’m pretty sure that’s not what you’re listening to :O) x
