I looked out across the bay
It was flat
Like prairie
Featureless and grey
Except for a dome
that rose in the middle-distance

There was no sign of where
the sea and sky might join
Presupposing that they did

I guessed the sea
must be out there somewhere

PT- this really triggered my imagination- I can see the sea and sky melting into each other. I hope the sun is shining for you. ;)Pia

Thank you Pia. Glad you enjoyed it. It's shining for me somewhere. Hope it is for you too. X

I lived on a bay for many years (well not exactly on it, by it) if that had been home, I'd be homesick. Beautifully described.

Thanks Sooz. Funny thing is, if you look inland you think "Why do I live in this place?" But if you turn around you think "Oh aye. That's it."

That is so true, I loved the sea at Morecambe, wild and angry most of the time, but so, so beautiful.

I have a good friend living there. A lot of similarities with this place.
