Morning
And Island man wakes up
To the sound of blue surf
In his head
The steady breaking and wombing
Wild seabirds
And fisherman pulling out to sea
The sun surfacing defiantly
From the east
Of his small emerald island
He always comes back groggily groggily
The  alliterative  ’s’s in ‘sea’, ‘sun’ and ‘surfacing’ imitate the sound of the sea, an illusion that stays in the Island man’s mind. 
 The ‘sun’ is  personified ; its image persists and the man has no control over it, as indicated by the adverb ‘defiantly’.
