I have always longed for adventures...

"It could be so exciting
To be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing

Oh…what’s the matter with me… "


While I was in the bus this morning, I wondered what happened to this song. Years after Maria married the Captain, did she sing it? Does she still sing it?
Can she recall all the words?

I reckon she does…as I do.

This hue. And that.

An evening,
when loneliness was not its usual grey
the night turned deep. and decidedly violet
the sky through the window was an opaque black
the words all rainy-white

the pictures a distant sea-blue
and some silences,

sinful crimson.

That evening,

the yellows of my sunflowers and my long-misplaced self
stargazed through the rainbow bubbles

They touched me
before they burst.
