"Morning Ferry"

'On a morning such as this it is hard to imagine
the forces that have shaped these island
warriors. The beauty and peacefulness of the
Salish Sea when the morning overcast
mutes the brilliant colour of the sunrise and
softens the sounds of stillness, it can be deceptive.
But for right now standing here on these
volcanic remnants we whisper so we will hear
the chatter of the Oystercatchers when they rise 
off the Gillinghams and the Kingfisher
when it declares its marine territory
before diving into the sea
for its prey..."
