Going to Vancouver City, BC
Grace @ Everyday Amazing
I want to go where the road
meets the sky & white-capped mountains -
I want my eyes to feast beyond the
sea wall, mossed & dotted brown by geese -
I want my hands to catch the hum & trill
of forest beat & symphony of wildflowers -
I want my eyes to follow the wings of seagulls &
black crows, soaring fearlessly above the bay-
And these - the rush of the wind, heat on my face,
sands beneath my feet, time to sip as the sun sets-
My words simmer and cluster, then fall
like waves against the rocks, endless & free -

ReplyDeleteThis just flows of nature so beautifully written, Grace!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and wonderful poem for my home city, Grace. Thank you. I didn't get there when we drove out last week, just visited my family in the seaside suburbs, where the feeling is almost the same. A gorgeous piece of Canada, wrapped around by sea and sky, with mountains in between.
