Pastoral
Listening To Grantchester Meadows by Pink Floyd turned my thoughts to the time I spend with a very close friend
I’ve just been listening to “Ummagumma” by Pink Floyd and I particularly love the pastoral relaxing feel of “Grantchester Meadows” by Roger Waters and thought that would be something that I would like to write for a close special friend of mine. I could also choose Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony but it was the Roger Waters song that inspired this.

Lying in this meadow, holding hands with you
By the slowly flowing river, quiet and calm
Birds sing and rabbits run, a pastoral psalm
I love us being here under the sky so blue
❤️🦋🌳🏞️🐦
Every moment with you is a treasure
Seconds stretch to forever, under the tree’s shade
Holding hands feeling love that will never fade
My time spent with you is always a pleasure
❤️🦋🌳🏞️🐦
This meadow is heaven for us, So perfect
Time together is precious as we connect
Holding each other more closely, heart to heart
Birdsong fills the air, we’ll never be apart
Spending time here with our friendship, care and trust
We want this to be our always, our true love

The River of Time
I think this came about because I am reading “The Fabulous Riverboat” the second book in Philip Jose Farmer’s “Riverworld” series, plus the songs “River of Dreams” by Billy Joel and “River of Salt” by Bryan Ferry with the addition of an inspirational spark that I always have resulted in this poem.
