A new day a new haiku
Seething frothing waves
Tumbling over themselves
Crashing into me
Three hours to cover
The sandscape with rolling waves
Three hours to wonder
Turned by waves and tossed
I cling to the bow and hope
Waiting for a voice
Salty sea spray stings
Take away these broken things
Spread my open wings
Still still sea waters
Stretching out from shore to shore
In silent reaches
In this burning heat
Slip into the glassy sea
And wash my mind clear
Another black cloud
Casts shade on the moody sky
When will the wind change?
Black waves roll and break
Against cold lines of grey slate
No hope or remorse
Up in the crow’s nest
Would you get tired of watching
Blue lines fade to grey?
Only in my mind
There I left myself behind
In the bluest sea
A sliver of sea
Silver lands nearer by half
So close yet so far
The fine salty spray
I wait here while you slumber
Between cloud and sea
