In defiance of the cold and snow...
In From the Sea
When the wind blows in from the sea you can hear the
crackle of palm fronds breaking free from the heat
hiss of sea oats defiantly bowing inland

sputter of foam cascading skyward cut from wave caps
chime of delicate shells dancing across dunes
When the wind blows in from the sea you can hear
The prayers of ancient mariners reaching home
