Image for the poem A d r i f t

A d r i f t

The views are frosted over with the frail,    
A winter's chill holds captive bowed sea grass    
While shoreline snowdrifts pale,    
And whitecaps cast their lines,    
The world in hibernation as they pass.    
   
And I, a misplaced journeyman afoot    
Adrift so far away my west coast home,    
Have come to touch the time    
My kith and kin had roamed,    
From Scotland, Wales & Nova Scotia's clime.
 
Yet even though I walk a windswept prow,    
I tend to cast my gaze back out to sea    
With fervent set of brow    
As if to find at last    
A ship aground who's cargo waits for me.    
   
   
   
Written for and entered in the DUP competition "Photo Inspiration" whose host MadameLavender is the photographer of the image, at Wingaersheek Beach, Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA.
