Study the Bible. And the apocrypha. The learning curve will never straighten.

We are all flotsam
embrace this impermance –
forever the same

Pebbles on a beach
Stars high in the firmament
Relax in this realm
Copyright Francis 2020

Footprints along the strand
stretching off to nowhere
A beach all my own
save for curious gulls
eyeing from Hesperides’ skies.
Kernow was never so lush
or windswept; are they bells
pealing on the breeze, like
lost Lyonesse beckoning
to this broken soul?
Maybe heartless time is melting,
melding; I run and run
into the gelid ocean, the two
once twain — now consumed

Ripples like wet skin
Midday spangles looking south
Waders distant calls
