Sea Mist

This mist makes ghosts of the drifting days,

Shrouding hill and cliff and cove with pale indifference;

On the shoreline, faint shadows gather in small worlds,

Framed by blank horizons and a white line of surf,

Just apparent in this strange eradication.

Somewhere, above and beyond the levelling murk,

A vain sun blazes at the creaking sea,

Taunting it with windborne lies of endless sunshine.
