      New Year's Eve of 2012


      I shall open a fresh bottle
      for the soon beginning
      of the next end I hope to see
      and relish the years
      it had long spent
      waiting in the wood

      the angels share they say
      is what you pay
      for spirits that have passed
      and the grateful ones
      have bartered those favors
      with delicate kisses

      the more angelic
      the more fascinating
      the flavors of the exchanges
      and these are to be held
      gently passing the lips
      and savored on the tongue

      to you my spirited angels
      for all your sweet favors
      for all the patience of the years
      and for this next beginning
      many thanks for the brewed barley
      and the fresh water stilled



      Guid Hogmanay !

Well, Ed, this is the most beautiful version of "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" that I have ever heard, and totally lacking in arrogance - instead perfectly clothed in a spirit of humility, simplicity, harmony and exquisite peace and an absolute pleasure to read. Smiles. My favourite line is "waiting in the wood." A really Happy New Year to you too, Ed.
