- The Organic Poet
Harbour @tomharding99
Late morning,
sun high above the harbour,
all is quiet
except for the ferry that docks every hour
to collect tourists,
and the occasional morning boat
tugging slowly to its destination.
The sea is calm and glinting softly
and there is nothing turbulent,
no breeze or murmur,
no mention of the way the world really is,
so you know you must
try to keep it somehow,
and watch it closely
and hold it for all the moments
that won’t be like this;
the sweet industry of the harbour,
its ferry and its boats,
the waiting captain and idle walkers,
talking busily in the middle of their lives.
