NOVEMBER BEACH by ALAN CREIGHTON

First Line: WITH SWOOP OF OPEN CHASE
Last Line: NO WALLS MAKE PEACE!
Subject(s): SEASHORE; BEACH; COAST; SHORE;

With swoop of open chase,
Wide wings move free
And gloom is soft embrace
By verge-dark sea.

With rush of mingled shapes
As bare gusts rave,
My weighted soul escapes
In snow-dimmed wave.

There can be crashing roars
On warm, still fleece,
And screams from calm indoors . . .
No walls make peace!
