Unexpected flashes of white
Egrets flapping homewards
across clouds full of rain
Unexpected flashes of white
Egrets flapping homewards
across clouds full of rain
Here we are,
the sea pilgrims.
The wanderers,
the seekers,
the beachcombers,
the sunset-catchers.
Not many of us tonight.
A damp evening,
dark before its time.
Thunder rumbles in the distance,
water mirrors grey
and turns it into silver,
alchemy before our eyes.
An infinite supply of treasure
for a sea pilgrim.
We leave the shore,
turn inland,
the light darkens,
sky lowers,
but inside us the sea shines silver,
and fills our hearts with light.
