A QUIET ANCHORAGE

 A QUIET ANCHORAGE

 

 Out there she floats where usually

 Only small craft are seen

 And the odd dolphin.

 

 A monster of a merchant ship

 Modern, business like

 No sign of a mast

 

 Carrying cars to Dublin

 According to the local paper

 Waiting for a berth.

 

 Meanwhile she has found

 A quiet anchorage;

 We stare through binoculars.

 

 Her name is California Highway

 Registered in Panama

 60,000 tonnes.

 

 Today she rests in Cardigan Bay

 West of Aberystwyth

 Not so far from the sun.
