THE BARENTS SEA

The sea comes gray

in great cold waves to eat

away the gray cliffs

standing treeless

under the gray sky,

wave after gray wave:

Patient is the sea

and patient are the cliffs,

falling into the sea

so slowly through

the ages. The sea

will have its victory in patience,

the doomed sea

that shall once die

under an older sun,

leaving schorched cliffs to face

the slower waves

of great dunes.
