A Bottle Of Champagne Poem by Louise Tredoux

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