Empty chairs and empty tables

 The ghosts of yesterday's laughter linger quietly

  
As threads of friendships warm and embracing envelope these chairs
 

Last night these tables saw a celebration of life


where food was bountiful 
and wine and mirth ran freely. 
 

 How eagerly we greet the chance to meet 
....  the chance to eat 
.... the chance to nourish our souls


with friendships old and new
as we share our days and minds


And sit ....


.... at once empty chairs and empty tables.

    1. They always remind me of the song "Empty chairs at empty tables" from Les Misérables. A beautiful song of friendships past. Glad you liked them - would love to see your chairs and tables one day. Fx

  7. How beautiful! And how I miss the water! The season is turning here too - this morning I saw snow on the mountains and the temperature is heading downward. Better that way though. Wet muddy autumn can be a little depressing. I prefer brisk, real cold. And snow!! Xcat
