A Shoreline Somewhere
written by: John Grey
I’m strolling the sea-cliff edge
as morning sun streaks through plump clouds,
below me, a wall of gull quarries
and a beach loaded with rocks and dunes.
It’s years ago, when the step was surer,
with heights unencumbered by risks of falling,
and the shrill cry of birds, a herald for the heart,
as waves flooded sand, whipped rocks to a standstill.
The place is a blur. So is the time of year.
But the breeze, the blueness, the horizon, come clear.
Though much has been forgotten,
the rest can’t be improved upon.
John Grey is an Australian poet, US resident, recently published in Soundings East, Dalhousie Review and Connecticut River Review. Latest book, “Leaves On Pages” is available through Amazon.
