#habour
The ships in my harbour lie and weep, their wounds of salt, like secrets, seep. Broken ribs cradle the quiet bay, prayers of the past now fade away. My fate a leaf, frail and torn, scattered by winds where sorrow is born. O my night, how shall I roam, when the moon forgets its sky-bound home? Your shadow rests where my eyes dream, a golden sun within my stream. Though roads may twist, they still conspire, to lead me back to love’s bright fire.

A Longer Way of Arriving
Pots, coiled ropes, orange, blue Laid, at the harbor side, waiting Waiting, for the tide, An old fishing net, laid on the concrete, A weathered sunburnt fisherman, Sitting quietly repairing holes within holes Birds perching patiently on the harbor wall, Waiting In the distance the sun dips towards the horizon Casting a light over a returning trawler The birds lift lethargically from Harbour perch, beat their wings , wheel Towards an incoming meal ticket
