Widemouth Bay, Cornwall

Surfers like seals dot the ocean

Out in this swell, the salt laden pull

Anchors me in the wide bay

As the sand smooth as silk

Trails the briny tide.

 

I look back against the sun sparkled shore

As the footprints of my truth follow me

As I stand watching the waves break

And fall, their grey veined song echoes through me

 

And I feel complete now here at this

Otherworldy edge, the bold striped pebbles

Sit at my feet as unspoken words

More truths as yet to be undiscovered

Green dancing journeys stretch out amongst the waves

And this solitary happiness resounds silently across the Bay.
