Of Waves and Winter

Every now and then
someone comes a long and knocks you off your feet
in all the best ways.


I had posted this image and a few others from last weeks
trip to the big lake over on FB.  Much to my surprise a beautiful poem was
waiting for me in the guest comments underneath this image.  I was moved,
in all the best ways.

Good things must be shared.









Of the waves

washing, washing,

the land away,
...
slowly, slowly

an island make.

in summer light

surging, surging

a mist refresh

in fall twilight

foaming, foaming

a bitter crest.

cold winter comes,

sweeping, sweeping

snow and ice

tossing, tossing

onto rocks.

flowing, flowing

over again

a sheath of cold

swirling, swirling

petrified smooth

against rocky shore

holding, holding

the shape, of the coastline

like a glove.
