water–
surrounds
encloses
wraps round
slides down
transparent
carrying soft light
from clouds
in shrouds
of winding threads
marooned
in mist.
waves rise,
fall and batter
iron-grey hammers.
frenzied onslaught
black night..
moonlit surf
mountains of white.
weed, and driftwood
dragged through sand and stone
drift in gentle currents
at the break of dawn.
