Beautiful people, beautiful souls.

The girls all looked stunning
Dressed up for a wedding
We wore flowers in our hair
That day at the catacombs
And in a lucky turn of events
A volcano in Iceland erupted
And all the planes were grounded for a week
Oh, what a shame
We had to remain
Another week
In a bed and breakfast
Not far from the Vatican
My best mate
And my favorite girl
With nothing to do
But explore a majestic city
Eat, drink and be merry
In the glow that only comes
From old friends from brighter days
The bride was well liked
And the groom was forgiven
For a little mincing in his gait
Oh yes,
The girls all looked stunning
How blessed we were
To have such radiant company
I’ve never laughed so hard
Or felt as sharp
As on that trip
Now it remains a reminder
That fate sometimes smiles on us
And can be kind as well as cruel
The girls all looked stunning
It won’t ever happen that way again
But the memory
Is a treasure for life

Whilst I was locked up I had access to a guitar for a while, I wrote some songs and this poem is a reworking of the lyrics of one of those songs.
A very long time ago I was blessed enough to go to an old friend’s wedding in Rome. It was a little window of happiness in an otherwise painful decade and serves as a reminder that it’s not all doom and gloom.
The photo is an actual photo from the wedding, beautiful people, beautiful souls.

Christo, if you ever decide to play your guitar and sing on WordPress, I would like to hear that song. The poem is beautiful and nostalgic and hopeful for the future. Well done! ❤ Take care!
