Quiet darkness is replaced By the warmth of candlelight Casting singularity A couple merge in shadows Your love is a glowing flame I’m mesmerized in your dance. I stare into liquid eyes A moth captured in moonlight. I’m wedded to your ring of fire Every night wine and steak dinner. My life is warm candlelight…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #6
From green, to red, from orange to yellow, the colours of the garden are breathtaking, like a dissected fall foliage that you can eat. How great is that? However, it would seem the mysteries of the CSA are getting better — and tougher? — or someone has disconnected my mic. “Hello … is this thing…
