hope
a feeling of expectation and desire
for a particular thing to happen

A glimmer of wistful hope as young Taji
almost pleads for some food to fall her way.

A Carnation…or something else?

As we commenced our
English Channel crossing,
I couldn’t see any bluebirds,
however those cliffs were far whiter
than I had ever imagine.

Finally the English Channel disappeared…
…to be replaced by the…
~~~~~
…waterfront region of Calais…
…and other vessels
loading or unloading.

As we neared the French coast
other vessels in the Channel
seemed to disappear.
Land Ho!
It appeared that we were sailing past the beach
upon which the recent Dunkirk movie was filmed.
~~~~~
As our cross channel journey draws to an end…
…more signs of civilization appear.

It’s amazing to think of this body of water and…
…so many small vessels plying back and forth
to evacuate soldiers of French beaches.
I think our stowaway could see those beaches

During our Channel Crossing…
…it quickly became obvious…
…we were not the only vessel using
the Channel for business or pleasure.

One final view…
…as we said goodbye…
…to
The White Cliffs
of Dover.

All the times…
…during my youth when I sang the song,
I never believed they were white.
How wrong was I?
This was the beginning of our European adventure…
…as we left the
White Cliffs of Dover
behind.

My contribution for this week’s
Dark and Light
Many times I have heard and often joined in singing
the song relating to bluebirds and the white cliffs of Dover…
for as long as I can remember.
However, never once did I think they would be
actually that white…
or in this case light in colour.
Some light piercing the dark from…
the London Eye.
Even the Houses of Parliament look good from up there.
