Left Behind

Left Behind

The seaweed feels

the tide recede.

It has been left

at the waters edge,

a decoration

on the sand.

It feels the drying

heat of the sun

and the careless

stomps and kicks

of humans.

It can do nothing

but wait for the sea to return

and sweep it up again.

By the Sea

By the Sea

It's one of those weeks

when the tourists flock.

They seek a break

from their mundane.

Yearn to capture

the spectacular.

But, I'm at home here.

I love the routine.

The rhythm of the waves.

The sound of the wind.

The boats that go out.

The friends who drop in.

There is nothing I

would rather do

than spend a day

by the sea.

Breakthrough

Breakthrough

Keep watch.

You will see signs.

A spot of light shows

on the horizon.

Colors come and go,

intensify or lighten.

The revelation may

be slow or fast,

be gone in seconds

or last and last.

Be ready.

You may sense

the breakthrough,

but it comes in

its own time.

Beauty

Beauty

Beauty comes to us

and sits

to let us take it in.

Imprints its colors

and its lines

upon our minds

so we may go to it

in the times

when such beauty

is hard to find.

I'm going to take a fall break. The next post will be October 19.

Balance

Balance

The robin appears

to be standing

on one foot,

trying to keep

his balance in

the same old

place. In reality,

he is caught

in mid step

and will soon

be moving forward.
