a future past

Those years in a west coast town where I

stared across the bay at a fairytale castle, dreamed of coffee shops with wooden tables, walked on quiet back streets, lit too many candles and drank a little too much wine,

worked in hotels, shops, offices, at my own kitchen table and on a balcony with sea view,

listened to birdsong and studied life from a distance,

listened to five hundred songs by a dark sea, with a candle at my elbow and a Dell in my lap,

partied with the girls and talked seriously to the boys,

looked for God and learned to love the loved ones,

craved unconditional love, unlimited freedom and a boho coat,

found a new gear, worried too much and treasured life,

lost a father and started a business.
