Sea

The roared thundering salt-white sea-flung wall
Foams, wells, forms fermenting froth fiercely sprung
From forced fractured underswell’s spun
Force slammed, slung, spreads in a burst bubbled shawl

Of soft relief sighing in a sunlit run,
Shoals full won in a struggled sprawl strung
As softened threads on the seashore’s smooth tongue
In a whispered haul of faint-breathed sussuration

Washing on the firm-faced whishing sand …
A gull calls, wheels, spells and spills, dwells, shrills, mills
In a high melee, chases, races, flares in to land
As a breeze blows, crows, tucks the hands of flags

Flapping in restless flailing strops
Atop blind poles lopped – time itself stops
In a gathered instant as meaning drags
A long stretch writ across the day’s full cry:

I sigh; and place myself in God’s hand
In deep release, nothing can harm this land.
