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
I wonder
What rides the night wind
What comes on tomorrow’s tide
Will the storm subside
Or kindle anew
On this blackened shore
An added vibrance
To the sky
Reminds me
Of your presence
The days a little brighter
The nights a little lighter
My life a little better
All for reasons
I cannot comprehend
No simple explanation
But a simple truth
My life a little better
Here life conforms
To wind and sea
Which cleaves the stone
With crushing wave
Still
The best moments
Gathered in little circles
Words and laughter exchanged
While the stormy world
Just falls away
No matter
It is still the light
And the unexpected source
Offers additional insight
I open my heart and mind
To the abundance
Of possibility
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
The iciest cold
The rockiest coastline
The hottest desert
And when I say life
Of course I mean
Homo sapiens
Lavender sun
Cobalt clouds
Canary sky
I love
That I get to bring
Such visions to life
Though I flinch
In a fusillade
Of wind and rain
I stay on deck
Deep breath
