“…beckoning her soul towards ease…”
On high upon craggy palisades
deep with enchantment
in vegetative trance
warm from weeding steadily
with back towards sun and busy happy hands rich with earth
distant rumbling waves ebb
and bound
beckoning her soul
towards ease.
Here and now
Inhaling….exhaling….
steady as she flows
riding crests of waves’ tempo
constant ruminations and mundane stressors of daily life, slip and ebb easily away persistently.
Soothing deep exalted breaths,
they are,
these waves
casting hook, line and sinker
easily an epiphany revealed
reminding her to dive in deep into this velvet green vision
and labor of love.
A veritable gentle giant
force of nature
is this ocean drawing breath,
snoring softly like a sleeping lover upon shores where sealions bask and bark
under mid-day sun calming toil and tribulations
now easily turning up seaglass held momentarily to the sun like gems tumbling kaleidoscope fashion within the curling foaming sea.
A lone lizard scatters bravely abrupt as she walks amoung tufts of yarrow and coastal rosemary ready for the bloom any day now
then settling on a nearby stone warm and rugged, it
gathering rays
rests peacefully again.
Winter has yet to yield fully here as a lone ruby breasted hummingbird zips across her earshot searching for bottlebrush nectar dizzy by the touch of probing beak.
A lone ranger butterfly briefly settles on stone buddha Boulder larger than God hanging on to the last of the enlightening shore
sitting still in motion
keeping good company
in sacred space recalling this once-upon-a-time
angel of a being now in heavenly good graces watching over now land of legacy and recapitulated kindred sons and daughters who still frolic and marvel in these gardens made of driftwood dreams and soft sand.
Under canopy of cloudless sky
Winds whipping up hair and shawl
she once again finds her breath easily in steady waves lifting all woes from previous days
And no longer biting her lip,
she embraces this seaside moment.
