Love Letter

I can't leave you,

I can't stay.
Every time I go,
Your colours stay
In my tale.

Green covered hills
Seem soft
Against grey-blue
Sky,
Wet air and slick rocks by
Navy blue-grey 

Sea.

This is a simple love
Letter,
One that I’m always secretly
Righting
Into your brave winds.

This is no farewell
Said again:
I can’t leave you,
You’re too full of sheltering bays
And heavy anchors.

I can’t stay.
Hold your hills, green
Vast grey ocean,
I’m always returning
To show you my Mandarin kites,
Wings.
