Ships in Harbour

"Ships in Harbour" by David Morton is a collection of early 20th-century poems expressing the beauty of nature, the weight of memories, and how time marches on. With strong, descriptive language and heartfelt feelings, Morton paints pictures of different sights and feelings that encourage readers to think about their own place in the world. The poems explore a variety of subjects, from the peace found watching boats in a harbor to the loveliness of the changing seasons, to recalling past times tied to certain places and happenings. Filled with colorful images and musical language, the reader is transported to a place of reflection, celebrating the short-lived charm of life and the never-ending effect of memories, while considering themes of loss and rediscovery that lead to a deeper understanding of the human experience in an ever-changing world.
