Life collects, pools around you.
It paints its highlights,
Nothing there you can destroy
Or begin again.
Calm in aquamarine beauty,
Barely a hint of surf’s snowy trim.
Today the sea is out
But will come again.
For the moment,
On the beach,
My love and I,
Naked and blissful as can be.
In the soft, sun baked sand
History between my toes.
Sense how
Even the smooth stones ache
With stories of their own
In the shuddering light of day.

I am a full-time writer and poet, based in the UK– fortunate enough to
be living and working in tranquil surroundings of the English
countryside, some twenty miles north of London. My poetry looks to positively explore human potential, with an emphasis
on love, spiritual growth and self awareness. It is very important to me
that my work remains as open, accessible and as simply expressed as
possible. My influences vary from the great traditional English
visionary romantics through to the distillation of thought and leanness
of expression offered by the Japanese haiku tradition and later
technical breakthroughs achieved by leading Scottish concrete poets, Ian
Hamilton Finlay and Edwin Morgan. Sparkling new poems & images at www.scotthastie.com scotthastie@hotmail.com
