Heading for home

The air was crisp

Beyond the shingle the sea lay calm,
Whispering in the morning's breath,
Shimmering as the bright pale yellow sun
Climbed into the sharp blue sky

A gull skimmed over the rippling water

The mist gathered itself
Close to the crumbling sandstone cliff
Mounting its damp red face

Warm softness behind
Cold hardness before

I run up the steps
Heading for home
