View across the Outer Harbour of Stornoway

Sunday 4 November 2012

Calm

Flat calm
Upside down
in the water
Indistinguishable

Reflections
or original
Even the lighthouse
perhaps even the mountains far-off

Benign clouds
slowly move
on an unseen
but unfelt wind

A small boat
carves through
the mirror which
quickly resmoothes

Dusk slowly
overtakes and dulls
the reflections of
daytime

To be replaced
by the high moon
of nearing winter
Enoy the calm - while it lasts
