One night in London

It came as close to perfection,

as anything I could ever imagine.

I've never made any secret of the fact

that I totally detest living where I do,

and in a heartbeat~

I would be gone.

London is a city

that is particularly close to my

heart, and yes ~

because of love.

When the plane touched down

I almost wanted to kiss the tarmac

as it felt like coming home.

London is such a vibrant,

alive city~

where people get on

with the business of living.

I was walking around in Trafalgar Square

wishing I could just let the city seep

right into my pores.

The tube stations, the clackity clack

of the wheels of suitcases

going up and down the stairs.

People,

going everywhere,

anywhere.

We laughed,

we walked ,

we ate.

Then,

came Dame Julie.

She was everything, and more.

In one night,

in London.
