Seagulls Spring

Timeless ponder of mid morning calm

Casuarinas gone, listen to a louder bird song

Wind fan coconut trees and larger palms

As seagulls lines Saunders shimmering sand

-

Hues of calmer seas chisel sunrise

As  lilt of white ocean enfolds

Golden streaks edge clearer skies

Ravish thoughts blossom then fold

-

Satchels of bequest waltz

Lit, gleam tantalize

Ripples of kinder emotions exalt

In pleasured filled eyes

-

Beautiful Grey

There is something about stormy/ hurricane-like weather that makes the child in me return. I usually get excited watching the waves bash against the coastline as the sand disappears. The sound of the pitter patter of the rain drops beat gracefully against the frosted glaze of the car windows. This morning as I drove along the western coast en route to work I could not resist the urge to take it all in. I rolled down the car glass as the rain gently kisses my body and soothes my skin. For some this grey day is inhospitable as it triggers regretful sighs. For me, this rainy day instills awe and thankfulness. For me days like this indicate a beginning, a sign of a good fortune and a gift to treasure. As the seagulls gather noisily and wander just above the rush of the waves a warm feeling inside me swells, and at the same time this weather represents the quintessential British life that I miss.
