where are you lover

 

here am i
in ebb and flow,
this ocean lapping

in resonance,
boom & crash
gurgle & whoosh
      that peak in flow,
the shhhhhh & ahhhhhh
of movement replete

in ripples & rhythms

in myriad currents
carving shadow and light,
sand patterns briefly

in contours of rock pools
marks of embrace
tracks of the surging

in soft scent perfuming
along the shoreline
salt and sea life
melting, still warm

in white-creamy foam
bubbling and spreading
through clear aqua rising

in waves
shadowed dark, catching
the light

 

 

Rockies by Road Bike

 

Last snow on summit
slabs of granite in gorge
glacial fed creek in torrential flow

wild flowers edge racing shadows
bodies hug …speeding bike
and the scent of pine
on the wind

epic day in the Rockies
pillion passenger at last
riding out old fears

And still feel the magic
pulsing my body
and in my heart
the mountain’s touch
fills empty spaces

road bike in fresh air
nature’s presence
breathing my blood

 

 

Egg Spinner

 

Sally of The Cypress Tree
asks, ‘where do you get inspiration?’

Inspiration...
a river reaching back
reaching forward
in time, out of time
timeless

seeds from the dead
from the unborn
from the void
blowing on strands
whispers from infinity
linking, interlacing
webbing
settling

eggs ...
to fertilize & incubate
over winter

‘but she has no eggs’
but ah, she is timeless
an egg spinner
a seed atom
part of the
unmade

her eggs …ideas
her ideas…eggs
