With Courage Nothing Is Impossible

I wrote this for Robbie after staying near St Davids Life Boat station. The title line is inspired by the inscription on a memorial sculpture at the RNLI HQ in Poole. 


With courage nothing is impossible,
With bloodied eye to see,
On shaking sunset inflatable,
Yellow boots to steady legs,
Chasing at briny dreams.

With courage nothing is impossible,
Trespassed on this crashing scene,
A giant’s clutch indestructible,
Gloved hands reach with certain touch,
To take back time’s last breath.
