Yoga By the Ocean

Poses and stretches
like the dolphins pose
are being done by the waters edge

I look into the sparkling water
and see the shadow of my reflection
in the bright and shining sunlight

and all around is nature
evergreen trees are in the distance
waving their strong branches in the wind as if to say hello

shells and rocks are scattered all over the vast and empty coastline which in my 
imagination could be
money that fell out of a passerby's pocket

calm is how I feel
just like I am in a meditative state or maybe I am in some sort of trance

I hear noises in the bushes. maybe a bear or maybe a child's footsteps but still I 
continue to do yoga poses out in nature
where I feel one with the land
