Seascape
I stand upon St David's Head, alone,
Invigorated by the salt sea spray.
I watch the setting sun sink into the sea,
Gilding the waves as they die on the shore.
The tide advances in the little bay
And eddies swirl around a lonely rock,
Its outline dark against the sparkling waves
And brilliant bubbles shine like glitt'ring gems.
The curved horizon, now a golden glow :
Scintillating gold leaf, the restless waves.
While, shining white, the greedy gannets plunge
Into the sea to skewer startled fish.
Yet, full of drama, energy and life,
This scene evokes a sense of restless peace.
