Haiku: Lands of Dream

Loch Fleet

snoozing and sleeping harbour seals and grey seals on a sandbar in Loch Fleet

snoozing seals
in their wild lands of dream
the road vanished

a grey seal on the edge of a sandbar, tail fin in the air, and another grey seal snoozing

four snoozing harbour seals on a sandbar
