Shades of you

Here I am,

drinking in tiny droplets of light,

listening again,

to ELH, and wondering

why I have had this song on repeat for two days.

The slate grey sky drew the dawn in,

silently,

making a promise of love to it.

Doesn't it do the heart good to open

wide a window and let the gentle

Sunday morning breeze in?

Today is a day for a seaside visit.

We will leave soon and go to where the mountains are.

It will do the heart good to walk by the sea

because,

you see,

this winter still breathes.

It's a harsh time of year,

winter.

When the heart is longing for sun.

What happens deep within us

is worthy of our deep love.

Do you not think so?

Today I want to utter you,

and you alone.

To portray in you shades of green and gold.

Ah

but I know, I know;

there is no image I would dream up

that you,

your presence with me,

would not eclipse.

I carry your heart with me

I carry it,

in my heart.



Drinking
orange soda

Eating
a small apple

Dreaming of
our day out

Not giving apologies for keeping
song of the day the same as yesterday

Adding to my wish list
the Chinese lantern Thomas Sabo charm

Loving life
with all it's complexities
