PLAY ME A SONG
Play me a song
Sing me the words
Of places
we’ve been
and
people we’ve loved
In a small bottle
I send you notes
thrown
In a blue sea
Where
Rays fly
on slow wings
grey shadows
are cast on
pale sand
I watch
as
It floats
to Italian shores
where you sit
drinking wine
thinking
of a time
when life seemed
so easy
back then
Majorcan sun
Fades
The sand is still warm
Look to the sea
Majorcan sun
Fades
