The hills on the horizon
                             Roll sweetly to the sea.
                               No ugliness there.
                               Across the horizon,
                              Aware of the stillness
                               That must remain
                                 Undisturbed,
                         The curlew and the cormorant fly,
                            The red shanks line astern
                        Lest they disturb too much the air.
                               No ugliness there.

                               Even the sea feels
                               The tranquillity of
                               His soothing hand.
                       The equinox tides may arouse the sea,
                              But beauty remains.
                           The marine blues and greens
                          Fringed in delicate white lace.
                        Search as I may – no ugliness there.
                               Search for ugliness
                               Amidst the rocks –
                            You will find none there.
