was inspired by a landscape painting i saw in the local artists shop
The cloud-filled canopy circles over the sea,
With a stretch of sunlight filtering through
To shimmer and shine on the silver water,
Spread out like creased foil.

A seagull soars solo across the sky,
Silently drifting on silent breezes
Above the vast space of water,
Before swiftly landing on a strip of rocks -

The jagged rocks which interrupt the gentle waves.
White foamy flashes hit off the metallic mounds,
And melt into the filmy water which fills and
Spills into the space between land and sky.
