Sometimes, you just have to accept reality.

Refusal

‘...and there was no more sea,’ Revelation 21.1



The shore at day’s end -
I watch as the tide recedes;
seabirds wash and play
as the last sunlight fades.
I will not say farewell 
to the sea, not say at last
a desert is all there is -
if there is no sea all is lost.
