Give
We made a fire tonight,
flames sunsetting the night.
Friends joined us
with glasses of wine
conversation and laughter.
Micheline gave us music
with her melodious
French accent.
Ralph entertained
by stringing Christmas
lights. Donna
regaled us with
stories of her winter.
Words flew back and forth.
They gave us their lives,
We gave them ours.

How I wish I was there at this party.. such warmth and bonhomie!
cheers,
I really liked this. :-)
Particularly loved the line. . . "flames sunsetting the night."
I felt like you invited me to your dinner table..giving is in the simple things..Jae ;)
This was like one of our Juhannus (Midsummer) parties which have just taken place. Fun, frolics and friendship. Lovely
rarely do I think of casual party conversation as giving. But it is because we offer (usually) the best of ourselves...whether the talent is jokes/humor, or music, or story.
Sounds like a wondrous evening. Lucky you!
how wonderful to spend time with friends....... it is full of heavenly notions... ahhh, you started a prompt...
These evenings make life worth living!
What a sweet visit! Great Poem!
