Becalmed

Sea is never silent
Even in the frozen
Flat calm moments
When margins turn to ice.

There's a murmur in the swell,
A belly of a whisper
Filling in the distance
With a soulful sigh.

I have sat beside you
Hearing the eternal note
Far from Arnold's Dover beach.
Before a sunset becoming
Beautifully becalmed.
