Vive Le Tour de France

Lake Annecy / Annecy-Semnoz Stage 20

Congratulations to all of the participants of Le Tour de France for your ability, strength and endurance, you all deserve to win.

I have been spending many evenings and early mornings in front of the television watching this wonderful event unfold...later today, Paris. I wish I could be there.

I have also marveled at the spectacular beauty of the landscape of France at every stage, especially the aerial footage of the forests with their magnificent trees, the green countryside, beautiful cows, The Pyrenees, the majesty of the Alps, in particular the Haute-Savoie region, Annecy and Annecy-Semnoz... so many places I would love to visit one day. There are some great video highlights and places of beauty to view at the official Le Tour website. Enjoy, if you have a chance.

A Gentle Heart

How gentle the one

Who nurtures love

For a heart that is broken

And lost its way

And guides this love

Over darkened paths

With a light that glows

From an inner warmth

To find its way

To a saddened heart

One that has hoped

For a chance to love

To mend and grow

And let love live ...

Was That You?

In the early hours of the morn

I felt your presence pass my way

Again I felt your warmth once more

At the start of yesterday

So close you were, yet far away

You left no message, you left no words

Was there nothing at all to say?

Two seasons have passed

Since you went away

In all of that time

I have looked for you each day

Amongst the branches of our tree

Hoping you would be there for me

No small folded letter left for me

I miss your friendship, I miss your words

I miss the closeness that we shared

Was that you in the silence of dawn?

Who came my way but did not stay.

A Dream Too Soon

Letting go of a dream

With regret in my heart

Watching it float away...

Was it a dream too soon?

Nor the right time for me

Or a hope too far away...

I hope the winds of time

Will change one day

And bring you back to me…
