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.
