Poignant Perch

entry picture

Upon the horizon  is a perch on which to poise perfectly

It' looks 'just right'

No one wants to settle for a second rate view

A bench laid in rememberance for someone called Maud who most never knew

Her memories are splayed out on the vast ocean of time 

But feelings stay

New memories will be made here

Transient and brief 

There is little cure for the brutality of mortality

That's what we all must endure 

Best to drink in the moment

Satiated by the sea
