Coastal Exile


Coastal Exile



The sea sings songs of brine to me,
A salt bravura in its singing,
Here foam falls featherly,
And pebbles mimic pianos ringing.

I am so much an inland man,
My orchards orange with the sun,
Diapason of the ocean swell
Awakes a half-forgotten song.

‘By the mountain lake, splash of waves
Comforts the traveller,
In the autumn uplands, flowering grasses
Sigh like the sea’.

There leaves fall featherly?

(Is it only a flimsy imagination?)

There leaves fall featherly.
