Two In One
Sunbeams are dancing in the Lobster Pot
Sprites from the Black Burn join the melee
chatter and patter flowing free
Eating and drinking glasses are clinking
Fairy lights winking in Blackness on Sea
The River washes the Castle's face
Wraiths float lazily by and gaze
askance as actors ply their trade
Reliving glories of days now done
The web of history endlessly spun
Children at play along the sands
Fairy tales built with grubby hands
Sea-dogs aplenty on this shore line
Their boats rocking to the River's time
while honking geese flap to far away lands
Blackness on Sea a Siren's song
luring all to come along
to be held in thrall for many a year
Only set free by a Mermaid's tear
then fantasy and reality clash together
a frisson of delight a moment to treasure
