Walking in Arne ...

I watched the clouds reflected in the water - 

A yawl sailed past reed beds towards Shipstal Point - 

Earlier I'd seen Californian poppies - 

The long years marked a fallen tree - 

We lay upon the cool white sand - 

Walking back through the bracken we saw a deer - 

I carry with me the memory of her beautiful silence - 

I can still feel the heartbreaking innocence of her gaze -
