The river ...

My River runs to thee –
Blue Sea – Wilt welcome me?

My River wait reply.
Oh Sea – look graciously!
I’ll fetch thee Brooks
From spotted nooks –

Say Sea – take Me?
Emily Dickinson
A glorious day! I stopped off at this small strand on my way back from Bantry. The tide was in, the light was blue and the pebbles rattled on the shore line.
In the afternoon I did some more clearing around the pond, accompanied by a cat - who knew bamboo, especially with tassels, was such fun; and a brave and inquisitive robin.
