Listen to poem:

Unseen Weathervane

Unseen Weathervane
David J Walker

First waves come on shore
		In a dull roar 
Of thundering power

Giving 
	Taking
		Erasing
Its tracks 

The beautiful seashell bones scattered
On sand 
replaced with each wave
coming
	going
		but not showing
either 
	future
		or past

at last
	the collapse of the 
midday fulcrum 
of a weathervane 

tomorrows promise
	will soon to pass
unseen 
	in a slow rain
