In my head, the sands of Tin Merzouga blendtheir red with the purple heathers of Alba.My heart has bled its contradictions,its longing nostalgia.I did not choose to live alonebut alone I chose to remain.Far winds have blown me homebut I miss the open plain,sun drenched bones,the joys of monsoon rain.Life’s experiences, good and bad,made me who I am:this peter pan,this lover of life, this supporter of Oxfam.Not one for looking in the mirror,not through fear or dread,I know what’s there, I treadhappy in my skin,my soul within sings each dayto the beat of the distant tambour.116© Sheila Ash 19thMarch 2017ashramblings
