A PATHWAY of silver sparkles
In the placid February sea
Caused by a watery winter sun
Air with a hint of spring’s breath.
Steep Holm and Flat Holm are framed
By mountainous cumulous clouds
As the tide slurps against the pebbled shore.
I enjoy this time for it’s not long before
More rain and grim skies arrive.
But now it’s fine and a dog
Runs into the silvery channel
And an elderly couple admire the pavilion
Then leisurely stroll on the boardwalk
To the sound of seagulls and half-term children.
I am hypnotised by the winter sea
Feel tranquillity with my soul set free.
