The seagulls squawk over the cliffs The waves end like white foam at their feet The sea is an iridescent mantle shimmering under the setting sun Bronco, unfathomable and in perpetual motion I contemplate it from my dimly lit room In the distance a boat is blurred with the mist Slowly smoking a cigarette I feel the sea talking, roaring, singing sometimes it scares and sometimes it lulls A melody that is lost in the beginning of time The leaden sky announces a fine drizzle I'll go for a walk on the beach And the rain and the drops of the sea Will placate this infinite sadness that sometimes assaults me And then I'll go back to finish writing a poem
