Swim

Floating, where am I Looking up, oh so beautiful sand cliffs
And a beach.Pick up a sea shell, a starfish sand dollar.
Lets go for a swimCool water, and salty
floating looking up at the sky
So blue the water. Blends into the sky.
Cold and refreshing. Climb out of it now.
Oh where was I looking over sees a man
Are you a stranger?oh past memories
knowing your face is familiar
you look as if ready for love
Your embrace is familiar I know your smell ,
I remember your taste your soft caresses ,
Hold me tight don�t let this go
Oh that feeling, hold me forever
Oh, where did I travel
past so far away but there is time
looking across a moor stones piled walls afar
home is gone Your arms release
floating cool water
salty blue sky
sighs .

Munchkin
She lays content
still knowing all that is around
Eyes closed thoughts flowing
A sound
Ear moves like radar
eyes closed nothing
Shifting, paws curled and tail wrapped a sigh
Back to thoughts
Elusive silver balls where did I
Purring
It�s under the carpet hidden
Oh, that sound I know
eyes open
Stretching, looking around
Yes, it is I know that sound
Jump down and trotting to the window
Yes it is
Purring, Chirping
It�s my family
Aaahh, a cat�s life!
