found wanting direction or course,
cursed with the thought...

As they nap under the willas.
They eat salt by the pillas,
And watch only chinchillas.
They prefer to work as millas,

What a Great ViewI stand atop a mountain tall,
look down upon the land,
the forests clinging to the slopes,
green valleys long and grand.
Rivers carve torrents right through them,

cabins scattered amongst the woods,
one such belongs...

Gather her iron-ore souls...

And the sea waits …preparing for his dates…
What will his future...

Entering the HookENTERING THE HOOK
Along the channel edge
Buoy lights swayed and tossed.
At our hull the surly sea threw a last slap
Like an animal wild and lost.
Stinging spray stopped driving
Into our faces as we crossed

Walking Along the ShoreCircling above the shore, watching the gulls
Squawking loudly above the ocean’s roar,
Hungry for every morsel, never any lulls
Watching the gulls circling above the shore.
Freighters on the horizon slowly moving
On the ocean’s surface laden with provision,
The...

Seen From the TerraceSeen from the Terrace
The misty weather over Cascais persists
there is no wind and silky rain, falls.
