midsummer 2021

long and easy the day the evening drifts slides almost reluctantly into sunset silver-sparkling sea...
we draw deep steadying breaths of calm

        light of my life
        warm yourself beside my hearth
        heart of my home

from the garden sweet with roses waves are almost the only evening sound...
two seagulls raucously grieve their cold eggs
children's cries in the distance
the fire glowing gently crackling red and gold, wild and
precious life...
