I look out onto fields of scarlet daises
towards imagined spike grass dunes
Bit by bit I forget the parts of you
The names of your god
till I remember only the feeling
but as I walk the unknown
You held my steady
But I am out of season
An empty stretch of coast line
Overtly romantic
Utterly desolate
A figure lost to the landscape
Screaming at an ever approaching sea
On quick and silver sands
‘danger signs’ I never saw
Gulls mock and swoop
Your love saves me
Later I sit where we once sat
sea spray splashes
against the windows
I’m warm, safe
High on cliff side
I drink mint tea
Then take the short walk back
to the place of scarlet daises
where you rested then told me
You are not gone from me
from where once I heard your song
No, you are just ahead
Just beyond human sight
Your tranquil footsteps calms the sea
For Runi's 800th Birthday Bash
