Standing posts, by day’s light
Beaten by the waves
bleached by the relentless sun
Dwelt upon by snails
By moonlight, a ghostly pier
Appears ‘neath the moon
A vision that’s never seen
In day’s high noon
Stretching out into the deep
Walked upon by wraiths
boats with ancient passengers,
On the pier he waits…
Eyeing all who step ashore
Some will never leave,
Captain of his merchant ship,
Lord of the seas
Each night he walks the pier
Beneath the moon’s light
Each night the slaves come again
Reliving ghostly plight
The wraiths leave with the dawn
At peace once more
Until the rising moon
Brings them back to shore.

Just out of curiosity; did you write the poem, then take the photo to suit? Or vice versa?
Once a poem accompanies a photograph, it is usually the poem that is inspired by the photo, so, the photo comes first š
So was this a night shot or day? The words took me back to “Star Gate Atlantis. As usual Very good work, Picture and Poem. š
Thanks. This was actually a Daylight photo with a red filter to darken the blues in the sky and accentuate the clouds.
