Timeless
It was one of those blue days
Slow and warm
A feast of May.
Dogs,tails wagging,
sniffed the delights
of new summer
and children pounded the paths
to the old castle,excited voices
raised then fading
like bees droning off
into the distance.
Timeless.
It was one of those flat,calm seas.
The ships,tankers both,were giants
held by anchor.
Suspended steel on silky ocean,
while the tide slurped and gurgled,
chewed on pebbles.
It was one of those old days
in a new moment.
All who'd come before
were,in a sense,still here
Fisherfolk,miners,families
and pierrots.............laughter.
Generations etched in grass and stone,
echoing from sand and derelict harbour.
Timeless....
