Lonesome At the Sea

Lonesome at the Sea

Thundering waves,
sky high,
Spray like drunken pearls,
blended rainbow colours,
breaking through clouds.

Veils of the night,
still sleepy
in early morning's light
fade timidly
in banks of clouds.

Driftwood,
days like driftwood
submerge 
in currents,
arise anew.

The water's colour
disperses  heavenwards
A single whitish sail
plays hide and seek
behind some crests of waves.
Silent hours
lost at an empty beach.

Beautiful imagery. Very nicely penned. I can almost feel myself sitting on a beach watching the bobbing of the sails at the horizon.
