Wild Blue Yonder

At the shoreline
the sea meets the sand 
            in transparent kiss 
       then draws back to itself 
in divine cycle
       the endless push/pull 
            of ocean rhythm  
                       
Out to sea
the vast expanse breathes             
             in deepening blue tones 
       that ripen like fruit 
blueberry 
      plum 
          blackberry 
          
On the horizon
midnight sea cuts palest blue sky 
          Taranga Island 
      floats hazily
suspended
       in the wild blue yonder
            natures cathedral
