‘…where the sea comes in’
Nation’s Ode to the Coast (National Trust) Dr John Cooper Clarke
A big fat sky and a thousand shrieks The tide arrives and the timber creaks A world away from the working week Où est la vie nautique? That’s where the sea comes in… Dishevelled shells and shovelled sands, Architecture all unplanned A spade ‘n’ bucket wonderland A golden space, a Frisbee and The kids and dogs can run and run And not run in to anyone Way out! Real gone! That’s where the sea comes in…
Impervious to human speech, Idle time and tidal reach Some memories you can’t impeach That’s where the sea comes in A nice cuppa splosh and a round of toast A cursory glance at the morning post A pointless walk along the coast That’s what floats my boat the most That’s where the sea comes in… Now, voyager - once resigned Go forth to seek and find The hazy days you left behind Right there in the back of your mind Where lucid dreams begin With rolling dunes and rattling shale
Cover Image - Gemma Pearce - Newlyn Trawler and Pink Wild Flowers - Acrylic - 12 x 12 inches
The shoreline then a swollen sail Picked out by a shimmering halo That’s where the sea comes in… Could this be luck by chance? Eternity in a second glance A universe beyond romance That’s where the sea comes in… Yeah, that’s where the sea comes in…
