Haven

Shipwreck-struts stand proud on island beach;
they act as frames to painted sea and sky
whose distant mists sheer-swirl in pre-dawn light
which promises the day will be set fair.

Beyond, a rocky outcrop adds a form
indicative of larger world far from
this haven, with its cove of solitude.
The moment serves to fill the mind with peace.

This is a detail taken from Jinksy's In Tandem painting this week. It prompted me to wax lyrical, and I thought it may be uplifting enough to count as a Poetry Jam entry for tomorrow, for although solitude won't lead to a better world, encouraging a little more peace in it would be a good thing. And now I've linked it to The Poetry Pantry as well - by golly, I'm a gad about this week!
