ocean – Page 2 – Leaf And Twig

Fishbone

swimming
the ocean sky

green waves
crest in the sunlight
crash on the rock wall

orange waves break
on the garden’s shore
the azalea is in bloom

the lay of the land
appeared in the sky
as gentle mountains rise
above the crashing ocean waves

a melt, the freeze, then awe
an ocean to cross
to reach the shores of spring

their splash of red
and foam of flowers
washes across June

late to meet the river
eager for the ocean’s embrace
snow melt hurries

ocean of pink
succulent stonecrop’s
tiny blossoms undulate

Waves of lavender and blue
deep enough to swim in.

Blooms reach for the clouds
like waves clinging to the shore.

All the colors
of the ocean and sky
reside in an iris bloom.

the meadow waves
lap at the birch shore line

Geranium makes the garden’s coral
a blossom so shimmery, fresh and delicate
it might have come from the ocean floor.

Like a receding tide
the ocean of wildflower color
begins its subtle retreat in August.

Mountain water hurries over rocks
searching for the ocean.

I rarely miss the sea.
The mountains are my ocean.
