Suddenly Swans
Torn sail blowing in a gale
sand beautifully shifting, dunes flowing
spray from the edge of a wave
moments camera frozen, seen
snapshots of the mind
memories only you can find
Long-lasting bulls eye ripples grow on the millpond surface
a momentary jumping fish creation
dissipating, gently lapping the hard rocky edge
Suddenly two swans water-ski in
paired parallel wakes created
disrupting reflected hills, sky and trees
tinged pink in gentle sunset breeze
good dry day promised by the sky
red western evenings never lie
High pressure, breeze slow & soft, a warm waft
cloudless ocean deep blue skies
natures treasures for our eyes
The rocky path carries us
up towards the setting sun
warmth disappears to the western coast
we are no longer warm as toast
cooler air moving in, breeze going thin
light fades as we reach the pub
time for hospitality, beer and grub
