This little bit of rock
Twice a day an Island
Momentary wilderness
Beyond an urban beach

Aqua and Azure ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #134
On another day
The storms would come
To whip the sea
Into delightful fury
The storms would come
To whip the sea
Into delightful fury
But today
Though the wind be high
In the lee of the rocks
A delightful calm
I love them both
The battering grey
The aqua and azure
Though…
Eastern Glow
While others gaze
Upon low lying sun
I turn my eye
Unto opposing sky
And glory in
The subtler shades
Which vibrance
Though far less pronounced
Such bare honest glow
With its gracious tones
In soft pastel
Restrained
Does not shout out
But whispers clear
“I am a sight
Held no less dear”
Upon low lying sun
I turn my eye

And glory in
The subtler shades
Which vibrance

Such bare honest glow

But whispers clear
“I am a sight
Held no less dear”
Missing the Sea
It’s a funny thing
That I live just one block
From the ocean
Often times smell the salt
And the tide
Through an open window
That I live just one block
From the ocean
Often times smell the salt
And the tide
Through an open window
And yet
I miss the sea
An urban inlet
Is not a wide sandy beach
On a limitless sea
With breakers vaulting salt spray
Into the atmosphere
Clouds Whispering
A rocky beach
A sleepy sea
A sulfur sky
And cobalt high
A sleepy sea
A sulfur sky
And cobalt high
Clouds whispering
Breathe in the air
My body sings
With the beauty
Of existence

The beach
Sunshine and sand
Wind and waves
Blankets and bikinis
Children and sand castles
Umbrellas and Ray Bans
Chesterman
Not quite
Such a beach
Endless Breakers
The wind licks spray
From endless breakers
Entering the bay
From endless breakers
Entering the bay
The clouds
A battery of waves
Roll across the sky
I lose myself
In the rumbling hiss
Of wind and white water
Taste the salty air
On my lips
Breathing deeply
No Safer Place
In the falling dusk
With the tide well out
I feel secure
In the tungsten warmth
Crackling firelight
Plays off the walls
Which shiver and creak
When the storm gusts come
With the tide well out
I feel secure
In the tungsten warmth
Crackling firelight
Plays off the walls
Which shiver and creak
When the storm gusts come
No safer place
Than a chair by the glass
Rain pelting the panes
Droplets running into lines
Refracting dying light
Journal in hand
The lamp set low
Raise my glass of red
To waves rumbling on the sand
Race the Sky
I stand
On the exposed bar of sand
Close my eyes
And listen
For the wind
And the waves
And the shutter click
Counting out the seconds
One by one by one by one
Isolation ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #114
Alone
I walk out
Onto the expanse
Of rippled sand
I walk out
Onto the expanse
Of rippled sand
The clouds
Roil and tumble above
In grandiose parade
Across azure sky
With every step
I feel a little smaller
A lone figure
Isolated on an expanding horizon
Until I stop
Breathe deeply
Breathe in all this
Glorious enormity
