First Light, Mousehole…
(Inspired by Clare Bowen’s painting…)
Sunrise illuminates rolling clouds, fussing over Penzance And Marazion, as St Michael’s Mount protrudes, cold,
Reaching and grasping for the morning.
Mauves and murk loiter around dwellings and disregard
What the elements might bring, whilst the harbour heeds the warning…
A pallid tide hurries to smother the rocky shore in advance
Of larger, heaving waves, thrusting and bold,
Rushing and gashing their harsh warning.
And the roofed building, once an annexe to the Old Coastguard
Hotel, surrenders itself to another Mounts Bay morning…
Pete Ray…
30th November 2025…
My personal interpretation of a really good painting…
I think the now private dwelling on the left is what used to be the annexe of the hotel, which I stayed in a few times until it was sold off.
The view is so familiar to me…
