“Lobster Fishermen” by Terrick Williams
rocky broaching shoals
guard ever-cold currents
whose clean teeming depths
engage stoic lobsterman
hardened by centuries
toiling, cohabiting
selfsame severe
marine ecosystems
where dwell their well-shelled
valanginian quarry

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

funny how this brought my mind to Canada’s east coast, a shared maritime tradition I guess…really enjoyed this one…

If you look real hard at the picture you can probably see my footprints, or is it my heartprints? Really enjoyed this. Food for the eyes and the mind.

You bought to mind St Vincent Gulf here in South Australia. A lot of Cutters were lost there during the early 20th century and late 19th. I love your poems they are so true

Lovely poem, Paul. Reminds me of Bicheno in Tasmania which is famous for its crayfish (similar to a lobster). Salmon and abalone are also caught there. Its a scenic seaside resort.
