Dark green conifers

Still standing on these mountains

Before and after

Creeping through sand dunes

Bears and wolves prowl silently

Well exacted fear

Abandoned sandals

Wait on the fence for their partner

Hanging like lost souls 

Leaping out headlong

And falling head over heels

Into shifting sand

Moonlit castles slide 

Knights in shining armour glide

Until the king dies 

Under heavy rain

Canvas stretched by summer storms

Painting our lives now

The Atlantic chill

Burns against my summer skin

Spreads into my bones

A horizon scarred
Blood red clouds in rank and file

Reflect in sand pools

And when I return

To those sea battered outcrops 

I go back in time

When the sun breaks through

And we bathe in orange light

Will you remember?
