Day: July 12, 2013

far away

you are far away

far away

I, a quay in waiting for a port’s call

I, an ocean shell abandoned by a hermit crab

I, a gust of sky winds blowing through pine trees then suddenly gone

hearing eternal whispers

of ocean waves gone by 

gone by

I walk on Lake Ann’s shores

indigo skies 

on a clear starry night

gives way to

a gentle dawn

held in a whisper blue

I sit with a silken sunrise

trying out my new solstice dawn

light embers 

spread overhead

creating our lake’s sky dome

ever changing 

cerulean blue

and raspberry plum

a true mixed palate

flowing

like a beautiful new scarf

placed over my head 

quietly folding

into the curves 

of my day

morning light filters through

bent woodland boughs 

sky winds meet me on the rise

shadows emerge

awakening

I rise to my day

refreshed 

in silent prayer

while the world sleeps

yet never still
