coral reefs on fallen logs
likenesses of
the ocean in the forest
Affinity of Land And Sea
Rush
before winter’s cold
stalls the journey
a mad dash to the ocean
Sky Sighs
as waves are
the ocean’s breath
clouds are the sky’s
Solace At The Green Beach
the river’s ways are
more subtle than the ocean
but as potent a soul salve
Blues In Maine
beneath a cerulean sky
the ocean provides
sapphire, slate and stone
The Sea Of Clouds
the wind a tide
in the fast moving sky
blue waves crash as clouds
The Solid Sea
I peered
into an ocean
made of granite
Rain On The Windshield
the tide
came in
from the sky
I Awoke At The Ocean
sand dollars gathered
on the shoreline
of cold
Night Tide
waves of clouds
crashed
on the shore of time
Morning Glory
I fly in your sky
and swim in
your ocean of blue
Undulating Color
the garden an ocean
peony blooms as if
a sea anemone
Fishbone
fish skeleton
swimming
the ocean sky
Sea Of Green
green waves
crest in the sunlight
crash on the rock wall
Awash in Colors
orange waves break
on the garden’s shore
the azalea is in bloom
Brief Glimpse
the lay of the land
appeared in the sky
as gentle mountains rise
above the crashing ocean waves
Voyage
a melt, the freeze, then awe
an ocean to cross
to reach the shores of spring
Oceanic Ornamental
their splash of red
and foam of flowers
washes across June
Rush
late to meet the river
eager for the ocean’s embrace
snow melt hurries
Sedum
ocean of pink
succulent stonecrop’s
tiny blossoms undulate
Delphinium Surf
Waves of lavender and blue
deep enough to swim in.
Pink Foam
Blooms reach for the clouds
like waves clinging to the shore.
Blues
All the colors
of the ocean and sky
reside in an iris bloom.
Ocean Grass
the meadow waves
lap at the birch shore line
Coral
Geranium makes the garden’s coral
a blossom so shimmery, fresh and delicate
it might have come from the ocean floor.
Lavender Wave
Like a receding tide
the ocean of wildflower color
begins its subtle retreat in August.
Rush
Mountain water hurries over rocks
searching for the ocean.
Mountain Range
I rarely miss the sea.
The mountains are my ocean.
