wild rushing strokes
of broad bristles
dominating seaside sky
of ivory and indigo
in thick impasto~
like our faded footsteps
along *Stroomi shoreline
Wild fiery grasses ~
deserted yet persistent
resembling your windswept hair
in times you forget the time
waiting just for me~
those desolate windows
are your eyes of blue
half awake at siesta
dreaming of my return
