The beach
Sunshine and sand
Wind and waves
Blankets and bikinis
Children and sand castles
Umbrellas and Ray Bans

Not quite
Such a beach

Red Cap
White block
Black rock
Ensconced
Wind whistles
White capped crests
Sea slashed shore
Lacerated stone
Red cap warns
Remnants of the Storm
Caught up in the gloom
She went to the shore
She went to the shore
Black rock
Charcoal sea
Flat grey sky
A scene to fit her mood
Remnants of a storm in passing
The waves, still high
Thrashed the shore
Flashes of brightness
In the monochromatic bleak
It occurred to her
Something needed to change
A Record of My Existence
Clouds tumble through the sky
Like the waves roiling on the stormy sea
Thick and dark
Smothering the sunset
Leaving just enough light
To stop the sea and sky in time
Like the waves roiling on the stormy sea
Thick and dark
Smothering the sunset
Leaving just enough light
To stop the sea and sky in time
I capture a moment
In an infinity of moments
Preserved only for so long
As time will allow
Longer than memory, perhaps
A record of my existence
Beckoning
You and I
Shadowed by
A dark’ning sky
Drawn to light
Far out to sea
Held at bay
By wave and tide
Hold my hand
We’ll venture out
Explore the beach
And detritus
Left behind
By seas withdrawn
Ember
Glowing ember in the sky
Storm lingering offshore
At the end of the day
Storm lingering offshore
At the end of the day
I wonder
What rides the night wind
What comes on tomorrow’s tide
Will the storm subside
Or kindle anew
On this blackened shore
Weather ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #122
Broken sleek
The hardened shore
In answer to
The winter storms
The hardened shore
In answer to
The winter storms
Here life conforms
To wind and sea
Which cleaves the stone
With crushing wave
Gathering Friends
A gathering of friends
Where the storm blows
Driving intermittent rains
And waves against
The rocky shore
A lighthouse anchoring
Reason for the foray
Destination for the day
Where the storm blows
Driving intermittent rains
And waves against
The rocky shore
A lighthouse anchoring
Reason for the foray
Destination for the day
Still
The best moments
Gathered in little circles
Words and laughter exchanged
While the stormy world
Just falls away
Waves
The wave rolls and rolls and rolls
Having crested well out to sea
Up the long, shallow beach
Never with much force
Having crested well out to sea
Up the long, shallow beach
Never with much force
Foamy leading edge
Losing momentum
Energy fading
It hangs
Still
Just
A moment
The Retreat
She retreated
Not because the waves
Had come perilously close
Nor because the wind
Made it difficult to stand
Not because the waves
Had come perilously close
Nor because the wind
Made it difficult to stand
She retreated because she had come
To feel the tumult of the ocean
To feel the battering of the wind
To feel the beauty of violence
Without consciousness
This is why she came here
And for a while
It was beautiful
And calming
