Alone

I'm so alone
And feeling blue
Winter in the Lighthouse
Without you 

I wake to the sound of the crashing sea
Drowning my thoughts
About how my life should be
Erasing my illusions

I wake to the  pounding of endless waves
The  never ceasing music 
That will pull me to the grave

I stand amongst the granite rocks
The sentinels
The timekeepers
The watching Clocks

I walk along the storm wracked sands
To hear the whistled winds
Of Natures bands 

I climb the rocky island paths
Where gulls wheel and dive 
And seafolk take their baths
And all men come to feel alive

I live on this outcrop of sand and sea
Alone with the birds for company
The seals and the dolphins
The bladderwrack and salt skin

Another winter alone as can be
Feathers and Heather
Rocks calling
And the endless  plaintive call 
of the sea.
