THIS LAND HE CALLS HIS HOME

 

 

 

THIS LAND HE CALLS HIS HOME

 

 

Disguising rocks of treachery,

the surging sea which pounds the shore

and cleaves the stony rock face fall

defies the harbours sanctuary

and sheltered calm within the bay

 

 

Above, the watery sun that stains

the steel-grey sky, the surging foam,

where morning mists refuse to clear

and gulls call out in soaring flight,

this land he calls his home.
