Visiting Edisto Island, SC and had a lovely time sitting and walking along the beach. Wish I could sometimes shut off my brain though.
of sunlight on water,
ripples approach-
rising, turning, rounding
into a wave,
surging, crisscrossing,
then flattening
into foamy half-circles.
A sandpiper scurries
away,
looking this way
and that.
For a moment
there is escape.
But the peace
does not endure.
Intrusive thoughts,
an old movie scene,
rise from the deep:
Lady Liberty
buried in the sand.

Shoreline Interruption
Watching the glimmerof sunlight on water,
ripples approach-
rising, turning, rounding
into a wave,
surging, crisscrossing,
then flattening
into foamy half-circles.
A sandpiper scurries
away,
looking this way
and that.
For a moment
there is escape.
But the peace
does not endure.
Intrusive thoughts,
an old movie scene,
rise from the deep:
Lady Liberty
buried in the sand.
