Towards the Sea

Along summer lanes
The hedgerows
Are fuzzy haired
And white
With yarrow flowers.

In the dunes
The evening primrose
Lifts it's head
By dark red 
Sea rose
Along a floor 
Of purple vetch.

Between the clumps
Of threepenny thrift
The wild thyme creeps
And all around 
The whisper 
Of a distant surf
With children's voices
Laughing through the afternoon.
