Harbor Song
Sunset Harbor-(Painting by Kevin Macneil Brown,
watercolor on paper, 2009)
Harbor Song
Dark sails find my horizon
(like Homer painted, 1880,
from Ten Pound Island:
Not just seascapes, maritimes,
but moments of
choosing, yearning, knowing.)
High tide, and
A salt and kelp wind rises
with the morning.
I have slept through the night
and light now
fissures the sky.
This small, safe harbor seems
vivid and fresh today,
with silver waters arriving.
And beyond the breakwater
those fast sails filling
ah, my heart’s desire
