For reasons

Pitch tar as the sea, primitive foam 

labours in on this chosen beach

Favoured not for us, but for reasons 

that only seem, and not once revealed

We make prints, drop towels, find shells, 

thus you'll only see me,- never the depth 

of water and salt, the boiling deep, a 

mold that fits the two of eyes you hold 

Look down, my dear, to where we should

belong.

Dear Espen

You made me think of so many things ... look up to see the sky ... look down to see were we are going ... and look in to the eyes and see what is loved it another zinger from your pen ... you just get better and better ... sigh your one of my favourites have to say love Jayne-Chloe

Liked this one too, except the line about dropped towels etc,too factual, but otherwise you seem to be able to capture the moment so well.. thanks for this.
