Sunrise Trail - Poem


Sunny sky

Crystals of blue ocean water

Low tide

Sulfur smell lingers with salt

 

Rugosa Roses

White and pink with garters of morning glories

Their smell

Mixed with the tidal stink

 

They complement each other-salt and sweet.

 

The growth

A tangle of primrose, dock, vetch

Valerian

It’s smell a calming haze

 

A turtle

Shovels through a tidal stream

Her shell

The same brown color as the beach

 

Six crows

Rise slowly from a billowing elm tree

They float-wings still

Suspended

By nothing but belief

 

Winter

A distant memory

Summer

At its peak

 

The memory of one makes the other more sweet.
