With lone intent, all freedom it will wrest
if obstinance you let these wolves deny.
As tonnage sinks beneath the torrid crest
your struggles for survival magnify.
Each flailing ship that ferries surety
is fodder for the fathoms of abyss.

Who played on the beach in hot weather,
She thought it a sin,
Just dressed in her skin,

slowly unfurls
pink ombre balms
of sun-kissed 
springfalls, 
as the luminous 
lake of tears
cascade in

Lies on azure porch
With flames to charm

Pink rose-buds to dance
As swallows prance
Little mouths to feed

Drops...

Along with the vigorous pine,
Time to recharge the soul
And smell the coffee on the Isle of Skye.
