Golden Hair

A Tribute To A Wonderful Friend Inspired By A James Joyce Poem

Golden Hair

This sonnet is a tribute to a very good friend who may or may not reveal herself.

The poem is personal to her, and was inspired when I saw a beautiful selfie of hers on Instagram. The song is a version of James Joyce’s β€œGolden Hair” by Syd Barrett.

I promised I would do a version for her, which you can listen to in this shared album hopefully

Your witches eyes , your golden hair

Bewitched me when I saw you then

You cast a spell, feels like heaven

Spellbound I stand, forever here

πŸΎπŸ–€πŸΎ

A lover , a carer you are

You work so hard to make things right

Helping others ,by day and night

My witching friend with Golden Hair

πŸΎπŸ–€πŸΎ

My Golden Witch a Vegan Queen

Sometimes a hundred miles apart

And Sometimes you are almost seen

You have my friendship and my heart

πŸΎπŸ–€πŸΎ

And I will brush your golden hair

And hold the hand, a Witch So Fair
