Silhouette

...And the Gull extended its Wings

Acclimate for Flight

Effortless as the Air one breathes

The Wind swept beneath her Feathers

Raising her up, weightless

Cast against the Sun in Silhouette

A Shadow of Elegance

Amen

BLANKET

As the Bay merges with the great Sea

My bare toes sink into her Sands

Swept away into the Sunlight

Eyes squinting through weak Sunglasses

The tide threatens to reach my blanket

I freeze as one often does

Hoping she doesn't reach my belongings and I

Nonetheless, the outcome is the same... nervous laughter

With relief I'm spared

Noticing others were not

But it's her warning if I selectly remain

We ante up, she wears a charming poker face

I withdraw only somewhat, allowing myself to tarry near her Shore

Children rolling off the lifeguard's sandhills

Collecting Sand Crabs in their Pails..

Creating a barrier to defer the waters

Deflected I am, by the glorious Sun and happy People

She must've noticed my guard had been lowered

As the Shark stalks his prey

Briskly, she swept across me, and soused my blanket

I fold...

The Snow had fallen so gracefully last Night

Emulating a million Stars in the Sky

In its Silence I hear your Voice

Reminiscent of your Heart

For even this frosty Eve

Cannot restrain the warmth of your Spirit

For an Old Friend.

Emancipation

Salts congruent at Sea

Its rapids flagellate athwart the Figure

Depths of Darkness, Heart Frozen, Eyes Empty;

Rainbows transposed to Rain

Waters successively merge, fused as one

Engulfed, she delivers herself from anguish

Emancipating her spirit forevermore.

Stand Tall. With a Big Cane.

Do not allow adversity to define who you are. 

Make the best of life & what it brings, 

& keep smilin' 'n laughin' with your chin held high.
