significant number
before dinner plates
rare breed arrives late
someone else anticipates


arrivals with bags
decorated frills
presents within
someone has come
lights have dimmed
infrequently

table of life
eat while able
members sit
dine,chat
who can find
lips to kiss
someone else
all infrequent
all amiss


the brochettes
praised for tenderness
wine served elegantly
festive season begins
significant number
meet infrequently
holiday greeted
periodically...

I haven't read you in a while, and i just realised that i have missed your words.

Loved these scenes, the sentiment, the fleeting moments.

This rounds the year
and wraps it with a bow, Martin...

as always, it pleases me
to read your thoughts...
