Winter\'s Low Sun.

 

 

 

Winter\'s Low  Sun.

 

White caps on ocean like thick meringue crystal 
coloured when pink broke through cloud cover
while Winter\'s low sun flooded each gap.

 

Dusk ran gilt breezes through cliff-top heather,
ruffled  white harebells and blushed to russet
the storm-beaten tufts of toughened  grass.

 

Naught hits my ears like eve\'s dying swan-song,     
hearing riled waves crack on granite my eye
catches gull-roost seeking safe passage.

 

Wind still smacking stone I depart homeward,
sudden spilled gloaming set bleeding Night 
sky while twilight draws blinds to relax.
