Hearth and fire be ours tonight And all the dark outside.
Fair the night, and kind on you Wherever you may bide.

And I'll be the sun upon your head The wind about your face.
My love, upon the path you tread And upon your wanderings peace.

Wine and song be ours tonight And all the cold outside.
Peace and warmth be yours tonight Wherever you may bide.

And I'll be the sun upon your head The wind about your face.
My love, upon the path you tread And upon your wanderings peace.

Hearth and fire be ours tonight And the wind in the birches bare.
Oh, that the wind we hear tonight Would find you well and fair.

And I'll be the sun upon your head, the wind about your face.
My love, upon the path you tread And upon your wanderings peace.

('Hearth and Fire' by Gordon Bok)

 

My stories are not meant to inform, preach, or otherwise lead my readers around by the nose. They are what they are tales written for the love of world, character, story, life and word. If you wish to know me, look for me in the words I write. For while I am no character in any story or verse, I see pieces of myself in every last one: protagonist, antagonist, bit-part and scenery. I welcome criticism and intelligent dialogue. I hope you enjoy what you find. Read for the love of it, or not at all.

 

Among my literary loves are P.G. Wodehouse, J.R.R. Tolkien, George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, Jane Austen, Edgar Allen Poe, Willaim Shakespeare and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There are countless others, but that is a decent smattering.

Darryl: It doesn’t mean his smile would be false... just that there is a lot that doesn’t show.
there is always much that does not show.

12 Nov 2009:-) B. Layne Weaver
Siblings: *are growing sleepier even as they walk*

Morgan: *leads them each to a room, as fine as most of the rooms in the castle, though not with sitting rooms, as plain bedrooms are closer to one another. Claris’s is dark green with goldenrod-colored highlights. Darryl’s is dark gray and light blue, and Randyl’s is dark blue with lavender.* Is there anything else you need tonight?

Morgan: *nods* goodnight.

Aww. Ever thought about getting some more? Saving some from the pet store from being someone’s pet snake’s next meal? no more pets for me right now. my parents would kill me. Besides, knowing Geoffrey, he would get obsessed about mouse-snacks and he’s not one to give up

You still need to get a weezie, too. Did I tell you about carrying her to her cage a couple nights ago? She licked my cheek, looked around, licked my cheek again, looked around, then licked my eyelid. Weezie kisses!

:-) A. Setliffe replies: "oh, she is just too cute to be believed. "
