The Garden Stream - Sunday Scribblings #174 (Fantasy Dinner Party)

Lamb in a mango, curry sauce
outside on a garden stream

Last gone first and first gone last
birds of song to complete the dream

Guests - ideas, philosophies and thoughts
family, love and surrendered lost

Final guest - the summer breeze
late too come - but last to leave

Longing for one other presence
that - the arrival of the endless day

To surrender my seat to this very end
just to keep the garden stream this way
