Notes About The Poem

 

(my photo)

- West Toward the Sea -

Near the ground
                                 here at home in the west
                                 A separate territory,
                                 a hymn
                                 to
                                 the sea and
                                 the sky
                                 The eye catches
                                 drifting clouds ~
                                 as
                                 gloss images
                                 with lace
                                 from grandma's time

Rama Balasubramanian August 22, 2021 at 11:01 AM Loved the lines a hymn to the sea and the sky .. and eye catches a drifting cloud. Here after many days of rain today I saw moon. It was so beautiful I felt joyous. A wonderful place to stay
