Hark I hear - A Blue Carol:

No, not the angels singing,
just a small murmuring,
the fresh heartbeat of a newborn babe (for you Mike) -

a tiny whispering...

A storm
before it has begun,
the way the trees shiver
and leaves catch the hint
of what's to come.

A soft breath
like a lover's lips
upon your neck
in the darkness
after love has been reclaimed
yet again.

A small pebble
tossed in the lake;
ripples,
soft laps at the edge.

Something begins...

It is from the small things
that big things emerge:
a Marc Murphy pass
a Tex grab
Hartlett holding down a spot
Livo injury free
Bower running
Edwards emulating dad
AB crashing a pack
Simmo dashing down the wing
T-Bird's cool
Carrot's eagerness to take 'em on.

It is the way new things
breathe life
into old legs.

It is the lull
before the fullblown storm;
before the gale
before the clouds have even gathered.

It is how things start
and no one notices
until they look back.

This summer,
this idyll before 2006,
is a beginning.

Be excited
Be very excited!

The Bluebagger swamp rats
are coming
and this time
they'll stay.

Pleasantly pissed after Christmas lunch, log on to read a danny special... if everyone saw the world like you do dan, there'd be less conflict, more beauty and a damn sight more happiness. Of course on the flipside, supermarket queues would be a freaking nightmare (the obligitory 5min chat between customer and checkout chick, you understand)... but that'd be a small price to pay, wouldn't it.

thanks for your words.

Merry Christmas everyone!
This is my favourite bit Dannyboy::
