Across the expanse

Ad perpetuam memoriam

Across this expanse out of my window I stare

To the fleeting clouds who will my message bear

Over the sea and Sahara sands, to the fields of Eden

Past snow-topped mountains and misty seasons

Across this expanse out of my window I glare

To the vivid blues and greens that remind me of home 

I arch my head towards the wind to listen to its whisper

And into it send my own message of happiness wrapped in silver


Merry Christmas mum
