Original Submission by Kirsty Brand

The sea

The frozen waters of the sea

Crashing as if they’re angry with me

Spilling their salt on the chipped off rocks

Destroying the man-made docks

Racing and riding and echoing shouts

The sea has its secrets and its doubts

With a new wave ahead and a mist by its side

The sea opens up and takes in its pride
