A Poem a Day (174): Mist of the sea


Mist of the sea

Mist of this pensive sea
Breathes in on the waves.
Not a person breaks the sight
On this night, slow burn.

Rain swirls on cobblestones,
Engineering eyes and rivulets.
Prisms arch, blink in puddles
As the sea flickers, reflective.

Victorian metal lamps loiter
On the edge of the promenade
Like fishermen watching the sea,
Waiting for their true love to rise.

A lone seagull surfs the air,
Spiralling like a plane.
