Seaside

I believe in salt water as a saviour in difficult times. In fact, at all times, sweat, tears and the sea offer comfort and relief.

Seaside

 

Laced up my running shoes, left phone on desk,

Determinedly took those extra kilos for a disciplinary jog,

 

Thirty minutes later I find myself walking, wet-shoed,

Calves flicked with damp sand. Watching waves pull at gravel,

 

Rocks gleam reflected light, seashells swoosh in seaweed,

Slanted sunlight on water, The Bridge rises from mist,

 

Carrying a twisted stick of driftwood, a dog’s lost rope-toy

And a reminder of what a difference salt water makes.
