The ocean

Posted on by

Monday 16th May 

The ocean gently laps the shore 
Sparkling turquoise waves roll in 
And yet, beyond the horizon 
A squally storm creates a din 

Some things are masterfully hidden 
Beneath the surface, life's in a spin 
Don't be fooled by the calmness 
For composure is wearing thin 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

We love you

We love you 
Unconditionally 
Ties are bound 
Orchestral symphony 
Soul to soul 
Shining brilliantly 
Touching hearts
With authenticity 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Mesmerising scene

Saturday 14th May 

Mesmerising scene 
Forever changing 
The deep blue ocean 
Power wide-ranging 

Yet peaceful and calm 
Waves never ending 
Transforming shapes 
Those colours blending 

Relaxing movement 
Spiritual lending 
Just drawn to the sounds 
Spume flies ascending 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

Looking West
Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Towards the Island
Having fun in the waves
Smeaton’s Pier
One of the Jumbo’s returning from a sail in the bay

The opening day

Friday 13th May 

The opening day 
And it's in full sway 
Sitting and observing 
All kinds of food serving 
Festival of delights 
Sharing delicious bites 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Sitting on the terrace at the Pedn Olva Hotel
Great views of Porthminster Beach
First day of the Food and Drink Festival
A few swimmers enjoying the waves
Many stalls offering tasters of local food and drink

An afternoon stroll

Wednesday 11th May 

An afternoon stroll 
To Porthminster Beach 
Beautiful blue skies 
Are all within reach 
And stopping awhile 
A coffee for each 
Just watching the boats 
Above, seagulls screech 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons

The harbour, with the Chapel on the Island in the background
The James Stevens No 10 lifeboat
A narrow view looking down to Crab Rock
Porthminster Beach
Lovely blue skies
Turquoise seas
Getting ready for the Food and Drink Festival this weekend
A Barbecue Bar
A view through the trees, across Pedn Olva, to the harbour
Sitting in an elevated position at the Pedn Olva Hotel
Across the harbour from the Malakoff
Smeaton’s Pier
Sunshine and blue skies

Sea and beach collide

Tuesday 10th May 

Worries in the sand 
Written at low tide 
Are soon washed away 
Incoming waves, glide 
Disappearing thoughts 
Sea and beach collide 

Love you both so much

Porthmeor West
Fun in the waves
The tide is coming in
The Island
Pretty blues
Surf school
At the slipway on the harbour
A wider view, with some blue sky overhead

And

Sunday 8th May 

And 
It will take 
As 
Long to make 
The 
Pain to shake 
To 
Mend the break 
Keeps 
Me awake 
Try 
To soothe the ache 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Rocky blues
Not too windy on Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
West Porthmeor
Quite a few enjoying the sunshine after a misty start
A sunny corner of the harbour
Low tide
Seagulls everywhere
