Towards St Clement's…
(Inspired by Clare Bowen’s painting…)
The island, a mere strip of a silhouette,
Lies almost unnoticed in an aroused and jumbled
Mounts Bay, where clouds have formed a myriad of hues
Jostling for prominence and have moodily tumbled
About to taunt the sunlight and insolently abuse
Its illumination of St Clement’s, beneath the wiles of the artist’s palette…
The sea, a mere backdrop to the chaotic theatre
Of the tousling dramatic cloud, shifts, sidelined
And curiously impotent, daubed by a myriad of faded
Blues, yet irradiated by a strip of yellow, maybe defined
As hope, or a promise to the islet lying shaded,
That the elements will soon reveal it as the prominent feature…
Pete Ray…
30th November 2025…
I have seen the sky similar to that so many times off Mousehole harbour, looking towards St Clement’s islet…
Always a beautiful sight…
