A different scent
in the air,
sounds of birds,
fishermen toil;
Clouds adrift
upon the horizon,
a distant sun
in heaven’s vault.
The moon upon
the oceans pull,
the fish upon
the tide at play;
Meandering shore,
of rocks and
mangroves,
shore of sand,
mud and life,
Oniabo I hear,
the sea, it calls,
Oniabo I fear,
the sea, it calls!
Oniabo is the name I have given to a currently ongoing Black and White Seascape collection of photographs. Oniabo is an Arawak word meaning “water”; the selection that I used for a presentation at Moray House Trust can be seen here.
A video of that presentation can be seen alongside other presentations of The Photography Sessions at Moray House Trust at www.ThePhotographySessions.com

Ohh, ahhh, poetry! I think you should do a project next year; visualize the scene, write the poem, then go try to find the photo to suit.
time…. time. It just won’t happen anytime soon
