Brisons, Porth Nanven, Cornwall, England Words by Mel Jones

Boulder on boulder,
Here is my solace.
Round rock,
Smooth pebble.
Running water
Out to sea.
White, mottled,
Old, worn, silver.
Pinky, golden horizon.
Grey green blue
Crashing,
Cascading wave,
Smoulders.
Pewter, ashen,
Moss and lichen.
Rocky outcrop,
Forgiven.
Peace is Nanven
