A new heart ...

I gazed at the snaky roots of the tree - 

We'd swum here, off this green hidden shore - 

We'd sat on these roots and brushed the sand off our skin - 

Now a soft rain fell from a gentle sky - 

An oyster catcher dipped his head -

The rain was washing away my old world - 

I wore a shirt made of summer - 

A new heart was beating next to mine -
