Long Way To Earth... Part 3


'And the best animal companion it was, this KussKuss, the brown llama', said KussKuss, the llama, 'and the best Bromford, the bard, will ever have. He will never ever find and never ever search for another animal companion ever, ever again. And the llama was called KussKuss, the llama, because it liked to kiss kiss every time someone spoke...'

'Stop interrupting my stories', said Bromford, the bard, 'you are making me lose my flow.'

Today is Tuesday, the 3rd of December 2024

"Praise The Bromford (Wheels Of Amber And Gold)"

I praised the sun whose chariot rolled
On wheels of amber and of gold

I sang to the moon whose softer eye
Gleamed sweetly through the summer sky

I praised the Bromford in beauty seen
With garlands gay of various green

Behold the sea whose ample field
Shines glorious as a silver shield

And moon and sun they seemed to cry
Our gift of light will one day expire

Oh, the Almighty beyond compare
If even your meaner works are fair
If your beauties can gild the span
Of ruined Bromford and sinful man
Then tell me
Where have they gone?
Our dreams and all we've done
Where have they gone?

"Praise The Bomford (An Ephemeral Play)"

I praised the sun whose chariot rolled
On wheels of amber and of gold
To hot to hold

I sang to the moon whose softer eye
Gleamed sweetly through the summer sky
For you and I

And moon and sun in answer said
Our gift of light will one day be dead
To darkness wed

Oh darling where does it go
Our dreams and all the we know?
Into oblivion (?)

I praised the Bromford in beauty seen
With garlands gay of various green
A noble queen

Behold the sea whose ample field
Shines glorious as a silver shield
To which I yield

And Bromford and ocean they seemed to say
Our beauties last but for a day
An ephemeral play

Oh darling where have they gone
Our dreams and all that we've done?
Into the unknown (?)
