She doesn’t wear shoes in the summer.
She likes the way the ground feels
In the creases of her curled up toes
She hooks them into the sand
Beneath the marram grass
And stands
An arrow pointing to the sun
The wind runs a wrinkled hand through her hair
And I watch her from the path
Feet pushing five inch spears
Into the rocky ground.
In the hissing of the dunes
Time shifts slowly by
I can hear the timeless tune
Of our lullaby
Hear your voice and sing along
Trying to keep in tune
But you smile it means I’m wrong
I can’t even croon
Here on this lonesome shore
Comes a memory
With the wind across the floor
Withered leaves roll free
They mix up with sunny shades
Of the marram grass
Sound of the lapping waves
All that’s left of us..
September sun setting low,
Fall in all its golden glow;
Anticyclones hold transient sway
As mist forms ,at the close of day.
Dogwood,jasmine,marram grass
In flower ,as pressure fills the barometer glass;
Evening primrose in scented bloom
Fill Autumn with pungent perfume.
Winter migrants with welcome calls
As the Indian Summer falters,and falls;
Nature's tempo tarries,then slows
As all creation begins to doze.
You Wishing
You
on the spring shore
where waves applaud on sand
where marram grass resists
Here lives the coldest wind
and no one else is there but you
Staying to watch
with arms braced
watching a world
drown then reborn
You
imagining
devising the improbable
you
silent
wishing the impossible
you
with cold fingers gracefully
cupping an orchid
in hope, in soft hope
silent words
falling from your lips
the sand creeps
sand dunes grow... gaining ground
marram holds all together
desert mountains... dunes
imperceptible movers
yet always growing
on a windy day
a mile long sandy beach
not a place to be
sandy beaches
here one day... gone the next
hungry oceans
ripples in the sand
saltating grains form ripples
sand dunes nurseries
creatures of the sand
reptiles... insects... birds... mammals
oasis wildlife
