Calon Y Ferri

There is something about this place

This little hall and the compound

That surrounds

There are echoes of its past

They say warplanes used to rest here

Times have changed

There are no more wars or planes

That need time out

The hall now echoes with laughter

Comes alive with

Nods and smiles

The villagers gather

For the farmers market

Arts and crafts, honey, jams and cheese

Pancakes, coffee, tea and curries

The atmosphere is affectionate

Everyone carries an aura

Like the mist from the hills

Reaches out, touches and engulfs in

The warm embrace of Friendliness

People laugh,

They talk the talk

Move from stall to stall

And for that moment

The time stops

And in that twinkling

The village captures my heart

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Dedicated to the wonderful people of Ferryside, beautiful affectionate and loving. There are no words to describe the place. Visit one farmers market and all shall become crystal clear. Today we hosted "The Asian Feast Fundraising dinner" under the banner of Goggi's Cuisine (my wife's catering business). I wrote the poem as a humble tribute.

Dearest froemd: This is truly one of your most beautiful poems. It is heartfelt, flowing with rhythm and so inspiring. I loved reading it again and again. You have proved here that even though you are a doctor by profession but your heart, mind and soul are that of a genuine poet. Kudos!
