"Sea", say it again!
Splashing, sun, soaring clouds, shining sea
And the sky...
Oh the blue, endless bright blue
Azure arch of the heavens
As if a golden gateway
Blue, blue blue
Unbroken, unmatched...sky high,
Seagulls fly!
Salty spray, ocean wide, flecked with white
As far as sight.
Rock ledge, lands edge
Brittle wedge of grey granite.
The pecking gull,
Snail spotting in the seaweed strewn pool
A moist, tender belly - upturned,
Withering noonday heat and webbed feet
Drying and dying.
The boat bobs benignly,
Just out of reach
Of the surf roaring onto the beach.
"Sea", say it again!
Summertime's soft sand on a lonely strand
Bees in the heather, warmer weather
Couples together
Walk hand in hand.
