Waves



water crashing shore
never ending weaving
time and motion

roar of waves
singing, dancing in
unbroken rhythm

seashells on grey sands
swept by morning rush   
waits for turning tide

green algae float
salty brine flowing
streams into streams

swirling, crushed corals
clinging to soles of feet 
dusting footprints in sand

a pebble flies into air  

  
Author's Note:   I don’t know where it will land.  Some changes in my work life are coming.   More demanding and technical job in another city further away from home. 


I will know by next week.

  4. Great feel of the ocean here, making the crash of the wave in the picture real, scattering shells and pebbles.

    Best of luck with your new endeavors.

  5. You take me back to last summer. Sigh. It wasn't that long ago.

  10. How lovely this blog is! And how lovely the poem, that has me absolutely craving a day at the Oregon coast. My husband and I were to go for our anniversary but other life events cancelled the trip. So I really appreciate this beautiful mental vacation.

    Nothing like being a pebble flying in the air! A great analogy to that betwixt-and-between state of change. Best to you these days...

  12. I was enjoying the images & then you tossed that pebble - that was an excellent way to end the poem & point to your changes. I wish you well!
