Let's go Down to the sea
As the sand
Meets the waiting sky

As the waves tease the toes
Of the stately ice floes
As they lumber slowly by 

Let’s go up to the hills
That kiss the clouds
As they fly

Or the verdant green
From stream to stream
As the dusk 
sails where they sigh

Let’s go home to our home
Where the sea and glade
Retire
In our glen we will lie
In the sweet bye and Where the sky meets the sea
I will wait for thee

Where islands in the sky wait for time

2018 .. A new year

Thinking about the gains
and losses
from a year so recently gone
always seems to lead me back
to where I first belonged

The good .. the bad
Indifferent
feels stronger than before
I’m wanting less
but finding more
as I work ceiling to floor

I cannot please the everyone
 someone or
anyone at all
so I will try to please myself
ducking from chips that fall

My New Years resolution list
is very short this year
be kind
be loving
don’t fix what’s not mine
don’t make others happy
for me
