onshore

 onshore


as gentler falls the lanyard wind as

landward waves this morning’s light

as darkling clouds grow slowly as

the dark night slowly turns to light


as scrunch the sandy gravel growls as

the foot loose way the dogs bright lead

as there it seems the way is chosen as

the dog eared beach as the venerable bede 


was telling how the sea’s mystery was

recorded with all the past walkers were

as feathered as the quills that wrote as

it turned the pages of such minded years


as if that is not enough of shady tales as

the sailor wind pummelled my wayward hair

as wild as any thought that has

run the pulled beach way out there


as daybreak has as every day has

turned the dark nights of thought

as sunny breezes turn the eternal was

horrid as night thoughts brought to nought


as now the onshore setting of the sun as

brought the dire thoughts home to roost

as restless as the boathouses have

rattle-coughed the salted assaulting ghost


as gentler rises the same lanyard wind as

seaward waved out the evening light

as darkling clouds dark slowly as

the lightless day falls finally to night
