Wild wild ocean....

The ocean finally feels like fall. Huge waves, big gusting wind, dramatic sun peeking in and out of the clouds, and flocks of migrating terns swooping and diving in formation. A stellar swim day! Except for the sand between my teeth....

Somewhere in the Sky

Wax drips down the
candle
On a wooden table
As I sit in an old
chair
Near the open window
Of my third floor
room

I feel the slight cool
eastern wind

I watch reflections of
dim lights on
Harbor waves

I dream of seabirds
flying to a place
Somewhere
in the sky
High above the clouds

Where it is bright

Very bright...
