13. Sea sons

Passing sea sons in ebb and flow
To sight the sea-thrashed cobbled walk
To tread on land that disappears
Chat about changes made in years
Of dining drinking and sea board talk

Settled sea folk of calm and storm
Stand fast in view of this town’s main ware
To work and save for family keep
Breathe and sigh as your sea sons sleep
Yet deny the sea tour time and care

Moving seasons
On and on

Changing sea sons of time and tide
Safe here in envy we long within
To travel with you from home’s first base
Keep hope and minds alive apace
By staying, praying as waters roll in
