Our second home was tranquil<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though its position was exposed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
None of our windows were covered <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we liked to live with the sea<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To the side of the steps that led to the beach <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was our small swimming pool and assorted chairs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We called this swimming pool La Petite Mer <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or the Sea of Julia and David <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I say our windows are covered <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not completely true as we have gossamer drapes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that we might recreate the heavy fogs of the area <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lighthouse which is visible from our flat roof <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was constructed in the service of passing ships <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just after the wreck of the SS Valiant <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the terrible winter of 1888<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cross was erected about five years ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the coastal road in memory of all those lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n
