A Gentle Awakening

I can feel the warm sun on my face. It ducks under the lifting veil of mist scattering sparkling flecks on the clear blue water. A fishing trawler chugs along the clearing horizon as I drop down to the water’s edge. It’s clear and inviting. I slip into it and immerse myself in the slowly waking day, closing my eyes and seeing the dappled flickering sunlight projected onto the back of my eye lids

Dover

Heading back, the sky becomes a perfect light show of emerging colours and shapes, the whispy clouds taking the hues of the setting sun. A pink haze grows above the water and brings our the turquoise green of the briny foreground. A gentle gradient washes up to the blue sky which is punctured by the bright white speck of the moon. It’s a beautiful experience and grows in intensity until the surface of the water takes on a fiery orangey red set against the silhouette of houses poking up over the cliffs. It sit and drift in it for a while bobbing around, immersed in the spectacle.

Gracie’s Paddles

Tyne 24.03.18. Variable 3-4 occasional rain, fog patches, moderate or good, occasionally very poor. 

This is a long one, so get yourself a cup off tea and find somewhere comfy to sit first.

‘Am I sitting on a rock? Would I be seen on a poster stealing a child’s face? Do I feed my family on my own regurgitated vomit?
