Island Wishes

You share such beautiful island wishes

That my eyes blink with tears

Sparkling, happy tears

Tears of amazement and wonder

For beauty’s smile and love’s fecundity in you

For the joy of your risen imagination

Shining like the yellow Moroccan sun

 

These are the dreams that make life real

These are the words that make my heart beat

Beat in harmony

These are the days of surreal contentment

And the nights of thanking our lucky stars

Of blessing the gods of north and south

For bringing us together, here, now

 

So as the wind howls and the bare trees sway

As the rain spatters my winter window pane

The window on our future

Looks out on spring in a riot of technicolour

With herons sweeping a cerulean sky

And ivy ladders stretched to the moon

Where we lie laughing in Wensleydale craters

And scale the lunar summits of love
