New Futures
by Howard Osborne
Now let me take a last look, if you please
My life here on the coast, was never bad
Yet memories get lost in the cold breeze
A quiet time for which I should be glad
The scene is stillness, and I merely stare
Such a peaceful view, I cannot feel sad
I see land’s end houses but no-one there
Just glimmers of sunlight across the bay
Last vestiges of warmth in the chilled air
Skies are clouding over, and all is gray
A storm is due, perhaps later today
