Morecambe Bay
by Martin A. Barnes. CanadaAs I sit on the shore in the town of my birth,
I gaze out to sea and know there is no finer view on earth,
The lakeland hills etched against the sky like wet clumps of paper left to dry,
Valleys too of green and gold like a beautiful tapestry too precious to hold.
The sun beats down on a sea of blue, and as if taking a cue,
The seagull's cry and dip and whirl.
This view must surely be England's pearl.
Evening comes and the sun sinks low,
Oh the joy of that sun-set glow,
Behind the mountain peaks and in every fold
Across the bay a path of molten gold,
No words of mine or brush however fine could paint such a scene,
Only our eyes can feast upon this view,
This beauty by the Creator, the artist unseen.
