Sea of Cortés beach
Native plants trap blowing sand
Forming small sand mounds

A little beach house
A place for shore fishermen
Protection from storms

Waves gently move in

Solitude, the soul’s best friend

Near the end of day.

“Do stuff.
Be clenched, curious.

Not waiting for inspiration’s shove
or society’s kiss on your forehead.
Pay attention.
It’s all about paying attention.
Attention is vitality.
It connects you with others.
It makes you eager. stay eager.”

― Susan Sontag

Alms for the Shore

If I were to find a beach

With not a soul around,

I’d see how many footprints

I could lay across the ground.

And in that sand those prints would stay

Until the tide washed them away.

Twice a day

Tide sweeps the shore,

Collecting footprints, shells and more.

Tired, she lands on beach chair,
surveying people nearby.

Secure, she settles down,
uninterested in the adjacent plate.

Old, she gathers strength,
the sun is setting.

Concerned, a nearby girl,
careful to not disturb.

Capturing The Moment — At The End Of The Day   4 comments

Puerto Penasco September 2013-0189 blog“At The End Of The Day”  — Image by kenne

At the end of the day
I watch the setting sun.

At the end of the day
I can rest from work.

At the end of the day
I get nothing for nothing.

At the end of the day
I reflect on the day.

At the end of the day
I attest to my resolve.

At the end of the day
I am at one with myself.

At the end of the day
I’m another day older.

At the end of the day
I give praise to life.

At the end of the day
I capture the moment.

“It was many and many a year ago, 
         In a kingdom by the sea, 
   That a maiden there lived whom you may know 
         By the name of ANNABEL LEE; 
   And this maiden she lived with no other thought 
         Than to love and be loved by me.”

— from the poem, Annabel Lee, by Edgar Allen Poe

Morning Walk On The Puerto Peñasco Beach   4 comments

Rocky PointPuerto Peñasco Beach — Image by kenne

I walk Puerto Peñasco beach
toward the morning sunrise.

Puddles of water abandoned by the tide
run together, channeling to the sea.

Gaining speed turning back to my eyes
sliding on the sea of stone.

Leaving behind reflections
channeling thoughts of storms past.

Above, the dragon birds fly shallow waters
searching for day treasures trembling below.

Last week we drove from Oceanside to San Diego along the coastal highway. It was cool, in the 40’s, but a beautiful clear day.
