Can you balance moons

From the root to the turret

Just by standing still

Over my shoulder

I can feel your spectral warmth

Guide me though woodlands

Tangled upside down

And turned myself inside out

Peace just out of reach

The icy cold moon

Curled up in a cloud cocoon

She will be full soon

A fallen causeway

Zigs and zags the windy bay

Divides blue from grey

We swam in these bays

Tramped and climbed the mountain ways

Happy golden days

Sunlight rose water

Feel this pure pull that caught her

Wind blew, we falter

Step out to nowhere

Sink into a murky mire

Water level rising

The long white cloud lies

Over time fabled mountains

Shield us from the storm

Westerly wind whips

Creamy crashing crests into

Fluffy frothy foam

Tides drag us apart

The only ties that bind us

Are names carved in wood

The lines on this face

Draw a perfect picture of

The lives in this place

Wild wind washes waves

Though deep tunnels and dark caves

Learning to be brave

Single shingle splash

Shakes my solitary perch

Turn my silver back

Wind round by this way

Over the hill, far away

Wonder why this bay

Swamp drains out to sea

Mountains shake, an open key

What do you mean, free?

Gentle breeze brushes

Fern fronds from my view, and lo

Gold treasure appears

Oceans surround us

Feed, clean, cool and connect us

Survive becomes thrive

Stunted beech huddle

Close to the peak. Bare roots lead

Us to elven realms

Swirling vapour lifts

Through canyon and valley drifts

Our perspective shifts

Set on the bush line

Beyond where the trees can climb

Keep us safe and dry

Shadows turn to blue

Tides drag us up from the deep

Face towards the sun

Ocean wash me clean

Take away all certainties

Ambiguous sea
