Shining stump of a rainbow

which dives into the bay,

shrouded in clouds

from white to

shades of grey.

It presides over a scene

notable for its icy, lashing wind

and waves

topped in white,

crashing against the shore

spreading seaweed and human detritus.

Bleak?

Some may say.

I think it’s best described as

Grace

Glorious wonder

Sustainer
