A vast sea <br />But a small world <br />Shut in four ways <br />By heavy fog <br />Dripping, deep, dark fog <br />Lonely <br />Alone <br />The only vessel on the sea <br />The splash of waves <br />On a solitary ship <br />Salt spray <br />Lonely raucous gull cries <br /> <br />Sun shining <br />Smooth sea <br />All plain <br />Many other vessels <br />Who radio messages across <br />Smile <br />And wave <br />Gentle, golden, sparkling, shining <br />After morning mist <br />And tranquil now <br />In the inner evening sea <br /> <br />1978?<br /><br />Carol Fleming Klein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-sea-18/
