Buffeted

Islands in the sky
Buffeted by the winds as
The sea upon the rocks

And I in the storm
Enthralled by the beauty of
Violent nature

Moved to pondering
The nature of violence
Buffeting within

Beautiful World

The beauty of the natural world
Reassures me
Helps me keep the faith
That we can be too
That we are
That I am

Coastal Textures, Gold Beach, Oregon Coast Highway, Oregon, United States of America

The Beach

Textures
Soft and spiky
Hard and supple

Moments
Joyful and Solemn
Solitary and frolicsome

Beaches
Body and nature intersect
Spirit and being mingle

Storm Driven, Heceta Beach, Oregon Coast Highway, Oregon, United States of America

Storm Driven Wonder

The thunderous sea
The ravaged beach
The turbulent sky

And I on my buffeted perch
Witness to all this tumult

Moved, again, by wonder

Nature’s Art

Symmetry in asymmetry
Random chance and physical law
Ordered chaos is nature’s art

Golden Glory, Pacific Coast Highway, California, United States of America

Marking Her Presence

In the grand moments
Of golden glories
It is easy to miss
The subtler wonders
Like a small ship
Making her way
Across the gleaming sea
Marking her presence
In the vastness

Connections ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #222

The sun ebbs
Drawing the sky blue curtain
Infinity revealed

Here we draw together
To feel the connection
Through all that is
To each other

Patience

Patience is
A wide shallow beach
Reducing the furious sea
To a gentle
ripple

Shoreline ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #220

Sooner or later
We all come to the shoreline
Beyond which lies a great unknown
A deep, unfathomable darkness

Most of us are allowed a choice there
To dive right in with more or less grace
Or cling to the land against the inexorable tides

No matter the choice, whether or no we have one
We are all, inevitably, drawn down into that great depth

I rather like to think a beautiful light awaits us there
