Evening Walk.
In the west I see the first star of the night
Beyond is an orange glow on the horizon
Blue sky still above me
Dark shadowy silhouettes
now forming a backdrop
Where once were fluffy white clouds.
Mirror sea grey, motionless, treasure's unseen
To the shore a skeleton jetty
Once busy and bustling with people
Horses carriages industry
Now only imagined that time before
Left behind are the impressive remains of intermittent pylons on the seabed floor
Tide high and sea shore sparse
White foam surging upon the rocks
I stand above the limestone cliffs
My senses aware as I watch in wonder
As another sunset descends
Over Pt. Willunga
