Ancient legends

Sunday 1 September 2013

Of small hopes and floating boats

Curls spurl on a whitened raft
Of waves and salt and spray
Take winds of blowing breath
Freshen pools of blue and green

Long tides swish in to sandy shores
To return to darkness deep
Leaving swathes of seaweed
Pebbles and driftwood still

Floating arms dapple surface
Of crystal waters calming
Bathing warmly in sunlight rays
On rocking rafting wood

Lie peacefully here as one
Watching gulls circling high
Fishes darting beneath hands
On coral beach sands
