Morning Walk #7

The sign says

“CAUTION

Trees leaning toward roadway”

Arched

They look like the crest of a wave

The sea

In a tree.

Morning Walk #8

We put seashells on our windowsill

Around the garden

And in our bathroom.

We wonder if it’s a trap

Like for lobsters and crabs.

But we don’t mind

Being caught.

We have seashells in our pockets.

 

Morning Walk #4

This morning I saw the sea.

Lavender

With white ruffles

Sparkles of gold

Hints of green like I’ve never seen

A blue to see through.

Today I will dress myself

In the colors of the sea

And invite myself

To an afternoon tea.

Morning Walk #3

I’m not there

Where

I can meet the sky.

I’m not there

Where thinking

Is an option.

I’m not there where

The ocean and I

See eye to eye.

I’m not there where my soul

Has wings.

I have become addicted to ETSY.

I immerse myself in the bountiful creativity.  I laugh too, at the genius living there.  Treasury Lists take me to places that I couldn’t find on my own, like knowledgeable tour guides that show you secret places.  And yes, I keep my favorites. They are listed under the heart so that I can visit them often.  Today I made my second Treasury List.  It is called Fantasy Favorites and is what I want right now.  To get there, go to Etsy.com, scroll down to Treasury on the left side, click on it, type "Fantasy Favorites" in the search box.  Be sure to get lost while you are looking.  Find something that speaks to you...

I have been walking to the beach every morning and thinking about things....

Morning walk #1

Pippi weighs 8lbs 13ozs and she barks at the ocean.

I think that she thinks

It will answer her.

Nothing has prepared her for this.

Not the joggers that come too close,

Or the other dogs that get in her way on city sidewalks.

It does not respond to her voice but repeats its own refrain.

The waves roll in and she runs out, creating her own song.  Soon they are dancing together. 

Morning Walk #2

There is time to find beach glass.

No need to bow

Down

Now.

It will be there when I find it.

For now, I look out.

Tall back, long neck,

Shoulders released.

To where

There

Is time.
