Finland

 

 

 

Sauna at Villa Elba, Kokkola

My thoughts are drifting to Finland today, with the places and many wonderful people I met there. I hope you are all well and happy. I'm sorry to have not seen you in so long but I think of you often, with a smile, and feel inspired.

Sunset in Naantali

Drawing lines in the cold, damp sand

She forms the words that lie softly on her lips,

As if those she loves will read them

All those thousands of miles away.

These thoughts,

Soon to be written into deep white waves

And whispered to the ears of distant shores.

She stands small and alone,

A pale figure in the midst of this open beach,

Calmly singing her hymns to the sea.
