Illumination<br />

Tides curl up over the lips<br />

Of the hollow’s cavernous maw.<br />

Wash over wash <strong>of</strong> disappointment<br />

Leaves nothing but pebbles dancing<br />

Under the fleeting waves.<br />

The ashen cliff walls erode, dissolve<br />

Into the sea foam<br />

Gathered upon the creaking timbers<br />

Of a shipwreck trembling<br />

Beneath a fading moonlight kiss.<br />

Hidden in winter, set<br />

Within the craggy peaks,<br />

A gentle egg nestles<br />

Inside a down and wood crown –<br />

Sheltered, protected from the tempest below.<br />
