Writing Poetry on the Shore

Listening to the seagulls fly
With white wings spelling angels talk
Hearing the waves clearing me
With a calming effect
Warm sand
Giving us land
With my chair and air
Umbrella for a cool moments
Tender days to sandy stars
Under my feet and swimming cars.

Near the Brook

Near the Brook, time loosens it’s rough grip.
Water slides over smooth stones
Like ancient secrets, catching the glow and breaking it into silver laughter. The air is cooler here, washed clean by the steady breath of the stream, every ripple gleams to carry a quiver a promise of rest. Leaves drift past like unhurried thoughts and dreams.
