Saw four herons today,
deep in conversation by a rhyne

Grey morning suits,
heads down,
hands clasped behind backs

Reminds me
- if I ever wondered -
that life really is a dream

~Enjoy all the happiness you can.
Ignore anyone who tells you the fun starts after you're dead.~

Well I'm a sucker for poems that have birds in them. I like particularly the "heads down hands clasped line/grey morning suits" Sorry that's a misquote I know. Did it for me - perfect image.

Cheers scratch. Wouldn't have anything to write without that train. If only FGW knew. They'd put the fares up!
