The Three Hundred Sixty Second, December 28, 2011

warm sun layers heat on the beach
like a house painter with a hangover
a cool morning grows into a hot day

the waves take no notice

people come and go through the day
picnics and surfing and just relaxing
enjoying a day on the sunny beach

the waves took no notice

I sit here and watch them all around me
the people the waves and the sun the sand
content for now to sit an observer only

the waves take no notice

through it all the sand remains calm
though the waves pound and feet kick
constantly distracted by everything

the waves take no notice

the sands do not care

  1. Extremely lovely...a canticle and intensely deep. I love how a seemingly simple observation can pull up from us an amazingly powerful and emotional depth. You were meant to travel.
