Bought a bottle of champagne and prepared <br />everything to fix a festive meal as soon as <br />Rudi walks in that door, negotiations are con- <br />tinuing, I will believe he is safe and on his way <br />back to me because then I can be happy and <br />concentrate, I refuse to consider a negative <br />outcome – belief carries power and brings <br />worlds into being, my trust and faith will form <br />a ring of protection around him, will infuse him <br />with power and strength and add to his wisdom, <br />champagne on ice, music and candlelight, Rudi <br />will be king, when he is home, I shall be queen…<br /><br />Louise Tredoux<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-bottle-of-champagne-2/
