The lazy looped sky looked sad<\/p>\n
As the sand bells gathered<\/p>\n
Above the sleeping town<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I was on the path to the beach<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You were sitting in your sham castle<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There were many ribbons in your hair of varying lengths<\/p>\n
Some dangled from the tower<\/p>\n
Dancing occasionally in the storm breezes<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I had a blue ribbon tied to my wrist<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The beach was deserted<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I swam without inhibition<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So did you<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But we did not speak<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On my return to the path I met a<\/p>\n
Prisoner of Conscience<\/p>\n
Who having absconded<\/p>\n
From his prison<\/p>\n
Who was as hiding in the trees<\/p>\n
That overlooked the beach<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At first I thought he was spying on you<\/p>\n
And was trying to steal your freedom<\/p>\n
So I tied him to a tree with your ribbons<\/p>\n
The poor man wept<\/p>\n
So I released him<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He told me of the wooden table<\/p>\n
In his cell<\/p>\n
And of the whitewashed walls<\/p>\n
Much spoiled<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You emerged from the sea<\/p>\n
And were soon at your window<\/p>\n
Tying your ribbons together<\/p>\n
Some dangled from the tower<\/p>\n
Dancing occasionally in the storm breezes<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although the summer had been long<\/p>\n
It was coming to an end<\/p>\n
So I agreed to remain with the prisoner<\/p>\n
Near to the trees that overlooked the beach<\/p>\n
As we both awaited St Lucy\u2019s Day<\/p>\n
