Midlife soul, crisis pending

Jumped ahead, enough to temple
My head away into the sea!

In one direction like an unicorn's

The lake-moon and the moon-river hold up:
A cloud is all smiles.

inland 
crimson instinct 
natal streams beckon home

bears wait...

an inland-island

To eat fish as they’d planned
Weeping cries both day and night
Following trucks deep inland
Wingtips black their bodies white
Far away from their native shores

Fog bank

Shrouded cliffs

Mysterious

Cyprus trees lean inland against their will

Moisture drips like tears from sodden branches

Lichen on rocks

Seagulls swoop

Waves pound

“I’m so happy to be from the inland,”
It’s simply a fact
The Finn girls attract
The finest fellows from the Rhineland.

Paradise awaits
the beauty of the islands
a place where dreamers will always dream
buried in pearls of gold
in the heart of the ocean
where the crash of waves whisper
a delight of music from inland breezes into our ears...

the fisheries have thinned
waves coated in mercury.
The flotilla moved inland
away from mercury storms, 
from freedom flyers to beggars 
on an asphalt sea
screaming
fries- fries- fries!...

Impressions
Bottomless Depth
In mind.
An unexplored
Blue world pursues to
Crawl inland.
Foaming
Fingers text
Imprints
Left against
Golden grains
Of sand, receding.
Sonorous wave hum sound,
Back
To bottomless depth....

in the inland garden,
luscious lavender hills,
dipped in flickering white,
scattered green dwarf saplings 
sit and spy capricious
pink and white dance across
once and again vast field.

The swans

Calm, majestic
Proud and free
The white swans glide
On the inland sea.
Cob and Pen
With necks inclined
Guard their young
As food they find.
The darker cygnets
Paddle free,
Majestic creatures
Of the inland sea....
