Tides and Seasons
Robin McNamara
It: was always there, the calling,
In the silence of briars in meadows
That covered the bloom of heather
And life unseen, in noise of rushed life.
Oh, the sounds of waves that crash
The rocks, that jutted up in defiance.
Pebbles applause for the returning
Tides.
It: was always there, the calling,
In the noise of choirs in shadows
Of swallows that come together,
In nested trees, in this wildlife.
Though, the weeds bloom and mock
The garden’s elegance, they shoot up
In defiance.
Rebels of nature for the returning
Seasons.
