“I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That’s not me at all” Daphne Guinness

Towering

In the distance
The mere existence
In the presence of significance
The towering height
In all its might

“I am not a person who reaches for the moon as long as I have the stars” Gertrude Ederle

December Moon, Part Four

Echoes of the past
Echoes of the future
Time is moving fast
No later than sooner

Up high
In the sky
Total bliss
When time is
Standing still
If you blink
Even a wink
The moment
Passed you by
Oh how
Time flies

“The moon puts on an elegant show, different every time in shape, colour and nuance” Arthur Smith

December Moon, Part Three

Moon moon
December moon
Bright in the night
Bright in the day
Hope you are
Here to stay

“Oh, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We’ve already got the stars” Bette Davis

December Moon, Part Two

“Look, the moon boss, the moon!”

December moon
You came so soon
Where did you go?
We were looking for you
Already a month ago
Here you are
Shining bright
Did you go far?
Never mind,
You are always
Such a delight!

“The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to” Carl Sandburg

December Moon, Part One

Partly hidden
Behind the soft clouds
Playing chicken?
Or just a misty shroud?

“Elvis has left the Konebuilding”

Elvis-3

“Man, I really love Vegas” Elvis Presley

“Elvis has left the Konebuilding”

Jingle bells a-rocking
Elvis comes a-knocking

Gold lamé suit
Dancing to no ones’ flute
A real cool dude
Definitely no prude

Rocking around
The Christmas tree
To a cool sound
And and impish glee

Twist and shout
No time to pout
The jingle bells
Put their spells

Now the rest of us
Mere mortals of dust
Jamming with the king
And wholehearted sing

But oh how time flies
Now it is time to say
Our fondest good byes
Flying back to the skies

“Ladies and Gents,
Elvis, has left the (Kone)building”

“Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Claus. Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. If you don’t, who will?” Jon Bon Jovi

A Visit to Father Christmas

The jolly Saint Nick
For some, Father Christmas
To others, Santa Claus

Call him what you will
You will always get your fill
Of happy thoughts and enjoyment
And possibly a nice payment
On Christmas Eve
If you only believe
