In the moment of the soft swell
Of a calm curl,
The gentle foam
Belays the power of
The waves that lift ocean liners
And cradle whales.
A breath
Before
Exhale.
Thank you, Terri, for this prompt. Perfect for today. For me, the shore is the ultimate calibrator. I took this photo in Ogonquit, Maine, quite too many years ago. Time to go back. Time to go to the beach. Any beach. For breath, for awe, for space, for zen.

Up close
The purple pinks into the blue
And makes the hues
Shine through.
Up close
You can forget yourself
As edges curl
And bloom unfurls
In you.

I’d planned something else
But
Instead,
This pretty bird
Over
My head
Chirped my
Concentration
To bed.

Bright light shines
Onto poles
As egrets call
And small hands
Hold
Sight to
Behold.

I watched its solitary fly by
And wondered if it felt
Lonesome for the many it had once
Belonged to
Yet left,
Or if it was a scout,
Holding a memory of a long-ago-known
Place to land
That others had forgotten
Or had misplaced the
Sense of.
Will it circle back to its own,
Flapping on the wing
In fatigued relief,
To let the rest know
It had found this night’s
Home?

May the words wrap
Around you
In shade and in
Sun.
May a book grab
Inside you
To where stories
Abound.
May good tales sustain
Your
Every heartbeat
And sound.
May you find space
Aplenty
To create
Reading time.

Stand up
To the dimming of
The light
By cruel
Injustice.
Be the lone voice
If you
Must.
Hold tall
Against the winds
That wish to
Break right
Into wrong
And form
Wrong
Into common practice.
Behold the skies
In blues
And clouded
Sorrow,
Even as you keep
Fighting for
Better today
And a just
Tomorrow.

In the blink
Of an eye
And a lifetime,
On the wing
Fleeting by
For the one time.

As the shadows lengthened
At the end of day,
She paused,
Reflecting,
On the direction
Of her way.

White puffed blue
Spreads above
To the wide horizon.
