Abandoned
To time
The elements
While memories linger
Even after anyone remains
To remember them
Abandoned
To time
The elements
While memories linger
Even after anyone remains
To remember them
Time Will Tell
Returns to harbour
Laden with lobster
Two sons waiting
On the jetty
The younger runs out to greet
“Hi dad!”
Four Daughters
Already out to sea
On her second run
One daughter aboard
Pulling traps from the bottom
Pulling lobsters from traps
Proud dad
Life perseveres
Thrives
In a desert of salt and sand
The hands and minds
Of those who battle
Time and the elements
Might heed
The supple tenacity
Of adaptation
Or their deeds
Will surely
Perish
