When the snow falls from the colourless skies

I think of you at the beach café

On the pathway to the dunes

You are naked under your thin dress

As you have just returned from a swim

We are sharing a pizza and a beer

And are listening to a gentle couple

Whose language we do not understand

Within the hour we will be back on our mats

Resting and watching the capricious sun

As it warms our bare flesh

Tan honey tan honey tan honey

Small coloured flags can be seen amongst the distant dunes

We are not alone

Others who have tired of the winters chill

Are sharing our day

We cannot see them

But know they are there

We will greet them at the complex

With knowing smiles

As we take our final stroll

In the hours before we sleep

And dream and dream

And dream and dream

All of our unconsidered dreams
