A Moment of Piety

Cliffs were sentinels reaching to the sky Gulls chided my presence with loud decry I scaled a hilltop to glimpse the sea Piety washed in gentle waves over me Never had I felt so humbled before, watching fingers of foam fondle the shore October 26, 2021 Bite Size Poem no24 Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier
