I sing in the morning “with hi and go derry” I dance neath the moon with the woods as my home All I survey, I am lord of and merry My kingdom is treetops - I choose not to roam Born in the morning “with hi and go derry” I name all the creatures and call them on down I know of each planting of root nut and berry My cap bears a feather my head wears a crown I live in my barrow “with hi and go derry” My forest dominion is all I desire I've named all the creatures the elf, dwarf and faerie At night time my comfort is given by fire I dance through this midland “with hi and go derry” My coming and going is never quite done In majesty born to the green of this scenery I stay till the kingdom of mankind is won I'm Tom of the morning “with hi and go derry” I'll dance through the world till the last age has come Then with the halflings I'll ride on the ferry To take us e'er onward right up to the sun. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Keth beloved one I can only say wow, this is truly spectacular writing, absolutely outstandingly beautifully presented and truly a song JRR would have been proud to call his own. Why is it, do you think, that whenever there is great writing here it has your name appended to it? Is it that you have unquestionable quality, is it that when you form a piece it is so totally complete so wonderful that all else pales into insignificance? Whatever the reason your writing ensures that this place will always be worth a visit, if only to read your sparkling gems of wonder. You do know I love this don’t you? Good, I really and truly do, it is splendiferous in the extreme. and forever Slushy    Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
