Sociable Still

In the passage

With the patience

Of the man, on the sands

Without a care in the world


Setting out, no, looking back

The day is the day

Night-time is for wild camping

For now, let us enjoy the surf


Don’t you ever believe

That there is no pain

Attached to separation

The introvert can always turn more fully within


Sat by Godrevy rocks

Now as sixteen years ago

In the swirl-hole of anguish

With nature’s beauty offering repair


Also, and this is the message

Feeling another’s pain

Of previously perceived despair

Is way more difficult


With no clear ending

To grant comprehension

With no clear story

Let alone the back story


Watching two people

Surfing side by side

Once they were together

Now they are apart
