NORTHUMBERLAND
A wild and rugged coast with waves of nostalgia for times long past.
seagulls glide over a wild North Sea
unaware of centuries of shifting power
playing out within thick castle walls
flying with detachment over Lindisfarne
and haunting memories of Christianity
seagulls
allusive and transitory
rising above the anachronistic wars
and futile struggles of humanity
like tiny souls essentially free
just watching and diving for fish
THE HOLY ISLAND OF LINDISFARNE
a mirage of hope
floats silently on the waves
of uncertainty
wild and rugged coast
castles, harbour and islands
memories of herring
MOVING INTO SUMMERTIME
The subtle colours of late spring turn into the vivid rainbow colours of early summer.
