pavement wet with rain
our day-to-day life, below
Sunswept clouds
what day is it?
at this time yesterday
a different view
walk & talk with colleagues
my view and their views
a picture in our minds
warming my hands
on a fresh cup of coffee
after winter sunset
Out of the sea
water rises to the sky
caught in the rain
my view of life, and the jetty
stretches to the horizon
after walking through soft sand
morning fog
makes visible, the invisible
light always breaks through
a familiar sight line
returning once more
through the fog
sweet as candy
sunset on the last day
I’ll be back again
just before popping
delicate, floating, out there…
Will anyone see?
better than never
another day is lost
counting petals
abandoned castle
formed in yesterday’s sand
rain clouds gather
a world of caution
time is slipping away
what will we do?
leaving work,
and the day, behind clouds…
bright moon
all about my way
every morning sunrise breaks
through unseen darkness
another day’s sun slips
beyond ocean waves and clouds
and our ambitions
sunset and shadows
over golden oak forest hills
fall on the horizon
the paths we walk
sometimes winding and narrow
lined with trees
retracing steps
peace in the morning
and in simple things
Yaquina Bay jetty
night draws in as waves calm
and out again
those who come after
the places we leave behind
found objects
new grass in winter
eastward blue sky and snow peaks
clouds set with the sun
Morning has broken
opportunity springs forth
and we begin again
yesterday’s flower
sprung up from dry ground
the day is new
in loves’ embrace
boats pass in and out of the bay
water laps to shore
castle in the sand
the expectations of our lives
and distant horizons
where sunset broadens
the shore, thoughts stretch
to meet you
resplendence surrounds
the road after the storm
washed by the water
crisp of winter
across the peninsula hills
San Francisco in view
strong winds a gust
bending in the same direction
the Cypress and the ocean
sea spray of cresting waves
hit my face after the storm
the day is done
rustle of mule ear leaves
winter on it’s way
again to Donner Pass
resting our views
all the world in undulating layers
washed by the ocean
brother and sister
take turns under the blossoming tree
smile from ear to ear
last long commute
sun breaks beyond the fog line
the road ahead
where I stood with you
colors of sunset wash to shore
and away again
at fading twilight
shoots of new grass line the trail
as it bends, and bends
stillness by the surf
remnants of an earlier day
and stillness beyond
valley of silver lupine
in the City
coyotes’ distant howl
trail to the Lands End
beyond the bush lupine
the sun sets over the ocean
above the fog
early as the day begins
a bit of clarity
battered shore
grains of sand filled
with the sea
morning moon
waves break
on a new day
the sun sets
on heartache
and any other day
Child calls to mom
my castle
crumbled sand
end of a day
the sights, smells, and sounds
where you are
the water’s edge
my perspective
opens wide
setting of another day
the sun and the trees
embrace
ocean foam
rolls across the sand
the sun retreats
trailing mist
thoughts rise
and fall along the cliffs
sunrise through clouds
from evening rain
reflecting…
suspended fog
after the sun falls
I’ll arrive
