Sands of Scarborough Bay I wonder… if you are pretending. Are your words from your heart, or is your heart dreaming? Do you really mean what you say… Oh, I want to believe… Will you stay? Don’t you know my heart is reeling? I want to believe. But I wonder… I wonder… if you are pretending. Are we just for today or will there be tomorrow?… Do you really mean what you say? Will we once again dance on the sands of Scarborough Bay? Will your precious smile greet me each morning and be there every day? I want to believe. But I wonder… I wonder if you are pretending… This summer sands were warm and pleasing… But winter is on the North Sea, and I wonder if you will go. I wonder if you are pretending… Are we just for today, or will there be tomorrow? I want to believe But I wonder… Nights at the Esplanade – trips to Robin Hood’s Bay, telling me your life story while we sit in the shade of the pines at the Moors… Do you really mean what you say? Can I trust your heart? Will your precious smile greet me each morning and be there every day? Will we again dance on the sands of Scarborough Bay? Oh, I want to believe… * Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. Maranatha! |

How comes that we tend to suspect the non authenticity of others' feelings? We have that awkward thought of not being worthy, that's it and it is a bad thing. But then summer loves may not always stand the test of time ... I also hear the musical cadence in your words, they resound very harmoniously. Very nice. Love, Margherita  |

JL: Yes I hear a song eminating from the sands of Scarborough Bay! A bittersweet sad song? That rhetorical ? makes one ponder & reflect--and leaves it up to the reader to decide. nice thought-provoker, Al |

JL, this is way, way, way beyond beautiful - as a poem, as a song, as a dream, as reality, as anything at all. Owl |

Will we once again dance on the sands of Scarborough Bay? Will your precious smile greet me each morning and be there every day? I want to believe. But I wonder… I wonder if you are pretending… When we meet someone who seems to answer our dreams, it's natural to wonder if the happiness is too good to be true. But when that happiness is with someone who's hurt us before, the wonder increases... we want it to be true but don't want to be hurt again. This is so lovely... I hope there's a tomorrow... and a dance in arms of trust. |

"This summer sands were warm and pleasing… But winter is on the North Sea, and I wonder if you will go. I wonder if you are pretending… Are we just for today, or will there be tomorrow?
