This is in response to Sadje’s Weekly Photo Prompts on #Whatdoyousee

The tree twisted its claws

Deeper and deeper

To find its anchor firm

The sea swallowed the sun

It’s crashing waves

Restless to kiss the

Gold encrusted horizon

The gulls swooped down

In a graceful attempt

To ride on the waves

Crying in unison

The tree atop a rock

Sprawled it’s arms wide

The waves encircled the rock

On which perched the gulls

The waves hugged

The rock…the rock 

Fondled the tree…the tree

Cradled the gulls

In timeless glee
