Abandoned Boat
This old boat has seen
many waves and many weathers,
saltworn timber cracked and withered
under peeling paint, yet buoyant still
its list upon the shelving shingle, still
its tilt above the turning tideline
to the gull's circuit and the sky's
face
Boats, like life
ReplyDeleteweather all the strife
of storm and tides
until life like boats capsize...
Love your images, Pedro, in both words and photos xx
