The Wall For The Sea

Behind you I can hear the swish and splash

The strong winds and turbulence

You are the wall moulded by man

Separating land from sea

You are the wall for the sea

 

Soundless houses squat near the water’s lips

Eavesdropping on the ocean’s quarrels

The shouting

Of the hissing waves

And sometimes the whispers

Of merciful undulations

Behind the wall for the sea

Have your say
