The sea changes colour with every shift in light, weather and depth.
Stillness
The rarity of the absolute stillness on this day must be embraced.
Natures mesmerising colour palette must be enjoyed,
the shades of palest blue, through to the silvery white of the distance
and the deep azure blue of the cloudless sky.
The hushed sounds of the gentle waves are soporific and hypnotic.
The senses are blunted, held in suspension as time holds its breath.
Rain
Inky voluminous cumulus hang threateningly,
Jade green stripes dissect the indigo blue water
as the light shifts and interacts
and as the storm clouds gather.
Anticipation and hope are not rewarded
The moon wanes and the new sunrise heralds
Another cloudless sky, no rain!
The Stars came out to Play
The gentle swell of the waves wash over the stones,
Turning moving water into tiny angled mirrors
Caught by the sunlight these bright points explode into specular stars
Refraction bends the light, distorting the pebbles
Creating a shimmering abstraction of colours.
