Winter By the Coast
O to be beside the sea
When winter’s cloak unfurls
To sit beneath a silent moon
and watch the waves recoil
O to be beside the sea
Taste salt on unkissed lips
To drown below a million stars
The icy burn of frozen fingertips
O to be beside the sea
Now visitors have left
A town so full of life
Falls silent and bereft
O to be beside the sea
A chance to dream and weep
As the solitude of winter
Renders this coastal town asleep
