Green Flash

Dreams of a scarlet sunset
Steamy salty spray of sea
Green flash on pink horizon
Scotch mist drifts over me

Ten toes curl, cold wet sand
You emerge, young and strong
Shiny sprinkles, sapphire sequins
Slow pulsing beat, a siren’s song

Emerald eyes, flaxen hair
I have seen you here before
Riding the waves gracefully
Running along the shore

Shy smile, a silly girl again
Crushed by sea-and-sky eyes
Touch of the hand quickly
Takes me by surprise

Lifts me, sweet ease of youth
Falling in, cool soft, velvety
We tumble like tossed stones
Kiss undersea kiss again

Mystical man returned to the sea
Loved you, but too naïve to know
So forgive my reminiscing
When bitter winter winds blow
