The Charm of Toksovo

Toksovo is the place near Saint-Petersburg, Russia When the Luminary was in the sunset, On the hill top, in summer, in the old house, We were drinking usually evening tea - I was a guest on that large veranda. We were sitting at the table, talking quietly, With friendly feelings in the hearts, The lake beneath and nature gave the double kindness - The place of Toksovo was blessed for us. © Poetic Velocity, 2019 (collection of poems on amason.com)
