A beautiful friendship

They dance on shimmering sands

Their sun-kissed limbs glistening in the fading sun

Their limbs entwine

A friendship of old

Renewed on a foreign shore 

Laughing, they frolic in the waves

Hair flying, caught by sea spray

As if carried by unseen mischievous nymphs
 

Their joy is palpable

Their faces alive

And they share a beautiful friendship

That is pure gold!

For Alexandra and Maddy with love Frannie xx

Fire in the sky

She slowly began to slide into the blue grey seas

.... occasionally glimpsing through wispy blinds

.... before settling into clouds of lilac.

Then unexpectedly, she spoke of fire

.... of vast pinks and orange striations over now wine dark seas

.... of burnished sunset hues 

.... before she softened the day

and quietly left the world in a reflected purple haze ....

The sun had finally set over Bali
