Spoken by the Sea
Don Hynes
Sept. 13, 2015
Before waves and wind the light
slanted across the sea
silver and shimmering
with clouds painted in the sky
like a Roman chapel.
Birds move silently through the air,
seals bob in the flooding tide;
I sit like the old rocks
quiet and unmoving,
waiting upon the sound of water
and the truth revealed
again and again
in the sacred text
written upon the clouds
spoken by the sea.
