Down to the sunny sea

To drown in you
Swallow your soul
Drink in your desires
Be engulfed by your energy
Then
To float to the surface
That reflects the starry sky
and travel contently
gently
Down the stream
Passing the yellow water lillies
and the happy trout
the weeping willow caressing the waters brim
Down to the sunny sea
Ah! to drown in thee!

Sprinkling of summer

Sunniness
Is a smile on your face
Your radiance bursting through
Even on the coldest winters-day
With a backdrop of grey
Your eyes sparkle with sunshine
Your mouth speaks like the suns rays
A bit of warmth
A sprinkling of summer
For Scotland in February.

Yellow gumboots

Perhaps you are not
as deep as Loch Ness
Where they have never
found the bottom...
Not sure where my
silt has settled
If any has indeed
settled yet
But, the rain
is falling outside
Into the black, reflective puddles
and I want to don my yellow gumboots
Dance
like a child
with fantastical music in my head
Without an audience
But, if you are looking at me
Even if you are thinking of me
I will be a child
In yellow gumboots
With a huge smile
