Sterling Heart

for Chanti from Surrey

What a bad day in a mad life this has been
How utterly exhausted I am now
Slander and libel with folly in between
When just as I thought all hope had ended
Came a flicker to keep hope alive somehow
I found myself befriended and defended

The Union Jack is flying high just now
Here in this distant Californian spring
Once defamed and damaged I am mended
Because an English girl in offering
To God to decency to loyalty
Put her good name to mine defending me

For honor still means something to one heart
And hers of sterling in defense of mine
Makes me want to travel and never to part
From one lighted from within with light divine
Fellow traveler in this poetic art
In your noble breast may sterling ever shine

hmmm, interesting piece .. very cold yet enlightening at the same time. I wonder what might have inspired you to write this; what events took place hours before you wrote this.
misty..

mmmm.....interesting! who is she, why is she, will she, has she.......? intrigued!

(Hey Hey, you know who she is... I told you in a PM once. I just got off the phone with her, in fact. We really should visit, you and I; I've so much to tell you. Please forgive me for being of such little use hereabouts of late, but I'm getting better now, at last. I really turned a corner yesterday, Deo gratias. Cheers and love, +Stevie)

Ahh, I see.

I'll pop around this evening. If only!

Good luck with this, my good friend.
