Tides and Gifts
Steel cold winds
sweep over shores
of pearl sands
and white horse waves
carrying small boats
bobbing in motion
as birds' rippling cries
mingle in distant skies-
merging like notes
when music plays
on multiple staves.
Tides run high
as driftwood gifts
it foreign trail
from journeys intermittent-
island to island
of rocky shores
and rippled sands.
Seas wash out
to depth
in quiet passing....
like peace at the end
of a wild storm-
the eye moved on
in bird's-eye-view
to places new.
Birds' calls gather
in rising breeze
as evening brings
fresh reprieve
and solace
to island life
where meaning
and mystery dwell
deep in cavernous roots
and high on peaks
of green and purple haze.
The lantern held
eternal pilgrim star
is still ablaze.
