Seascape

~~~~~~~~*

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

She lives by the sea

where the whitecaps

flirt with the sky

in fleeting flourishes

a flashy white crown

on sparkling waves

rhythm of a heart at rest

tempo smooth and

soothing frazzled

edges of an inland mind

until the endless

motion wears edges

smooth and polished

like sea glass of the heart

pastel feelings

softly ebb and flow

with bold thoughts

casting brilliant streaks

across a pastoral

landscape of gentle

breezes swaying slender

branches leaning in

to touch the soft

taste of the salty air

She waits for them with

unhurried impatience

as their wings slice

through the lift

of the mighty air

to deliver their

precious cargo...

Hopes, Dreams,

Acceptance

Understanding

Power, Knowledge

Wisdom, Discernment

Love

She looks for

their safe return

each day and

She does not know

that they look

to her with

unhurried impatience

for respite and

safe haven.

She lives by the sea.
