WELLS-NEXT-THE-SEA AT LOW TIDE: WORDS ABOUT A PAINTING BY EUGENIA ALEKSEYEV...

 Wells-next-the-Sea At Low Tide…

(from a painting by Eugenia Alekseyev…)




Light, colour and solace

Have been added to Wells-

Next-the-Sea, so that virtual masks

Of low-tide serenity

And idyll clothe the scene,

Like a vintage postcard luring

Visitors and procuring

Interest in its poignant grace

And all that its maritime heritage tells…


Vessels, moored and pacific

Lie anticipating

The next high tide,

Tethered, awaiting 

Too their fisherfolk, absent
Like all humanity

From the placid and potent

Ocean-front panoramic…

Really liked the calm of this painting and the absence of humanity…
