Music of the Shore, St Andrews, Scotland

Morwenna

Like moving staves of music, long waves

Break white. Their tunes are made of water,

A foaming, moving scherzo. In counterpoint,

The solid, steady staves of coal-black stone.

A frail descant from our voices high above.

    A super write of Scotland's beautiful sea-water tunes with its likeness to staves of scored music. A compelling read with insightful imagery - thank you Morwenna for sharing it with us.

      Thank you for commenting. Yes I could listen to the music of the sea for ages - and do.
