Silent vigil
Silent she stands
Sea salt spraying and slapping her stone sides
The ship that never sailed
On her never-ending vigil
Alone
Would that she could lift her foundations
To find a spot in the lobster pot
And seek comfort by the fire
A warm plate
Laughter and songs
But no
Still she stands
Blackness on sea behind her
Silent strength
At the mouth of the forth
Gazing ever outwards
