Unveiling

I waited so long for this summer.

Living in * the* wettest place in Europe , when these days come

this heart fills with gratitude.

We have walked summer paths,

an age old copy of Alice in Wonderland in my hand 

to read again this weekend.

Dreaming of our road trip to America in seven weeks time

counting days and longing for night trains.

Sunsets

Beaches

Crab bisque on age old piers.

Warm seas

and bicycle rides that lead to honeycomb beaches.

Dreaming of disappearing horizons 

and memories of blinking lighthouses 

on our trip to New England 

way back in

two thousand and seven.

Songs of seagulls and oyster catchers.

The tinkle of wind chimes 

and all the while, a cello playing this~ in my head.

A warm and happy July to you all!
