Listen here 

There is a small blue

scrap of sea…….

 

between here & there

between you and me

 

that sea swims into

ocean deep,

 

where dolphins leap

& whales sing their

 

full throat song.

 

Sometimes I hear you

in my sleep

 

whispering secrets

calling to me;

 

it’s early here

the apple tree has lost

 

its golden fruit, & the boys

walk to work

 

listening to reggae.

 

I sit alone

& drink my tea

 

thinking of me

with you

 

& you with me,

holding hands

 

across this blue blue

scrap of sea

 

each & every morning.
