of a ship parting the fog,
escorted by two tug boats
churning the...

pollen sunshine steams upon gardens
lace light lingers throughout shy sky
summer wings wrap words through trees
polish eternal life
birds flash ideas

tide times
opal hearts

On An Evening in April
The water,
the distant buildings,
the small boats nestled
in their own reflections,
all seem captive
to a still
that has settled
the evening,
paused in a lull
between breaths.
There is no wind

Message in a BottleI bottle my emotions,
Seal them tight like messages in glass,
Cast adrift in vast, uncaring seas,

Leaping side by side—
Their joyous dance in the mist,
Paints the sea with morning bliss....

To the stream, as we knew what to do
Fashioning a...

Fishing lifeI loved my life on the fish quay,
among the fisherman's bays,
Just to be involved in fish,
And learn a skill that pays.
Filleting fish all-day long,
For chefs with Michelin stars,

Ship splinters 'neath storm's fury,
Sky merges with sea.

Stellar endingsAfloat in a river of stars,
Ecstasy knits the raft of thoughts,
A destination is what I seek,
Sailing away mindlessly, expecting the waters to speak.
The water calmly paves the way ahead,
As the fog of disturbance clears.
Hesitation takes...
