Deep Calling
A poem from my book 'Swallowed: A Journey into Deepness', with some allusions to Moses and Jonah.
Deep Calling
Twilight leaves little light along this lonely street,
with tired grey walls,
and empty windows
watching.
It knows only
one way,
as it turns towards
Eternity,
where, amid
cacophonous waves
and thunderous winds,
can barely be heard
the sound of gulls
softly calling:
‘Come and see …’
