Sealed In, Newlyn…
A misted winter sunlight
Barely featured St Michael’s Mount
Between Newlyn’s protective arms,
From my vantage point,
On a disused harbour elbow,
The dereliction and overgrowth its charms.
The grassed stone promontory
Rarely used for mooring
Near Newlyn’s landing stages,
From my vantage point
An historic monument,
Its pride now weathered through the ages.
One surprised seal gaped
Hardly in its habitat
In Newlyn harbour’s swell;
From my vantage point
A fascinating appearance,
Such casualness casting a mesmerising spell…

A random seal poked its head out of the water in Newlyn harbour as I explored the sea-wall I had long admired.
Finally, in December 2006 I was able to walk the length of it, unexpectedly.
It had featured on my favourite Walter Langley
painting,
‘Never Morning Wore To Evening But Some Heart Did Break’…
