Early Morning Rituals

Early Morning Rituals

 

Where else might one

just sit

these days, and watch

the sky

and sea, in awe of such

subtle pastel shades

as those, found only on

a bramblings cheek ..

Indeed, all this,

while ancient anchored

fishing boats

in rows each dance

and sway upon a tune

the two of us

might well fail to hear ..

Yet still

the old men mend their

ragged nets and

women tend, then gut,

then scale

and clean the catch ..

as cobbled streets again

turn silver ..

And all before breakfast

on a day just like

yesterday, today and tomorrow

Author's Note

it's like this every early morning round our way :)

Beautiful early morning description of what you are lucky enough to have on your doorstep. Makes me think about Brixham and the fishing that has gone on their for centuries. Sitting and watching the world pass by and the fishing boats dancing. Perfect way to start a day Neville.
