December Sunset.
White caps on an ocean like thick crystal blossom
coloured when pink broke through cloud cover
and December's low sun flooded the gaps.
Dusk ran its gold breeze through cliff-top heather,
ruffled small harebells and blushed to russet
small tufts of tough storm-beaten grasses.
Naught hit my ears with more wonder than when
hearing riled waves crack on granite as sunset
led roosting gull-flight thru' water passage.
Wind still smacking stone I headed homeward
as crimson gloaming spilt Night's blood over
blue so Day could draw blinds and relax.

By gum, on a day like that rush off home for a good hot cuppa and a hearty kipper for breakfast.
I caught the atmosphere and pictured the marvel of the sea bird's flight low across the waves.
The picture reminded me of Keneggy on the south shore where the 76 heatwave and i got together to enjoy the raging shivvers of sunstroke. Beautiful bit of coastline.
Good write Fay.
Brilliantly atmospheric - another joy to read.

Marvelously evocative Fay. A beautiful reflection of Cornish coastlines and sky high colour. Atmospheric and earthy. I can almost smell the sea and grassy cliffs. Lovely picture too.
