Before me the sea swells up, it rises
and comes towards me.
There is a breeze starting now and the calm of the day loses its edge
That pale blue unblemished sky will not be for long.
I feel clouds descending through the mountains.
The window rattles and the faint tinkling of the wind chime
breaks the silence.
Curtains blow and still the clouds come
Swirling, whirling in their mysterious way.
I awake in a very early dawn
And the mist is thick like a blanket over the sea
All around is damp and a cold air creeps in through my door
It is very still and quiet
And I am grateful to be here in this enveloped peace.
