Treasure Trove
My eyes are dazzled by the glinting sun, Sparkling on the hulls of seashell casts, Unique as crystal snowflakes, each is one, From depths beyond and ages long since past. The gulls have salvaged living prey, amassed, Leaving only sharps where once was life,… Continue Reading “Treasure Trove”
Lucid Dreams
🌲🌲🌲 He’s entering the woods as oft before, And still his heart is thumping, resolute, This path has been the backdrop to his more lucid revelations, thoughts astute. The crunch of long-dropped pine cones underfoot, Reminds him, well, that feral denizens, inhabit near, ‘neath torn-asunder… Continue Reading “Lucid Dreams”
Walking The Dog

This discipline has served him well He waits, he skims the surface brine, Intent… Continue Reading “Patience”
Of Shared Strolls, Sandy Beaches and Miracles
Ponte Vedra Sunrise, March, 2014 Damp grains of sand fill up all the spaces ‘tween my toes, As foaming surf rushes to embrace the shore, Erasing every foot-mold, as if they’d never been. Companioned only by a plain-tone plover, we stroll slowly, stopping only for… Continue Reading “Of Shared Strolls, Sandy Beaches and Miracles”
