Diarmuids adventure

By diarmpearse

Love is like seaweed.............


even if you have pushed it away, you will not prevent its coming back.

Friday evening work finished and at the sea Tess and I find ourselves. it really is a beautiful place at any time of the year and tonight there was lots of sea weed in the wash. Busy busy weekend ahead; the big derby tomorrow Cherries against Southampton myself and 3200 other Cherries making our way along the M27 a big game for Southampton against such a high flying team, then straight off to hotel in Guildford for the night for sister - in -laws birthday celebration then home Sunday for a rest...hope to get a blip along the way

Seaweed

When descends on the Atlantic
The gigantic
Storm-wind of the equinox,
Landword in his wrath he scourges
The toiling surges,
Laden with seaweed from the rocks:

From Bermuda's reefs; from edges
Of sunken ledges,
In some far-off, bright Azore;
From Bahama, and the dashing
Silver-flashing
Surges of San Salvador;

From the tumbling surf, that buries
The Orkneyan skerries,
Answering the hoarse Hebrides;
And from wrecks of ships, and drifting
Spars, uplifting
On the desolate, rainy seas; -

Ever drifting, drifting, drifting
On the shifting
Currents of the restless main;
Till in sheltered coves, and reaches
Of sandy beaches,
All have found repose again.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


'There's never an end for the sea.'
- Samuel Beckett
