Reticent

Could almost see it quench, the sun
delicately dipped into calm horizon
while swooping terns occasional cry
in shallows fry; the surface boiled
on cooling sand washed lapping waves.
Sparsely lit, confines secluded bay
a rocking mast barrage;
of windblown craft tied restfully
as lobster pots, cast shadows crossed
awaiting dawn, more trappings of the sea.
Then back beyond stone promenade
where music plays, inside packed bar
of clinking class and ice cold ale
while here am I content with all
my senses touched so easily.
Your silence was such; it left me dumb
and I could well relate to that,
but walking back the; way we came
was not the same, I think you would agree
with light now gone, a certain vulnerability.
I felt it too, so there it�s said; quite easily
and gulls might swoop,
for floundering upon the wing:
as surely day will break,
and I will then once more; just walk away.
