daybreak solitude
among nocturnal remnants
#calm without a cause

Constant in its drift, day ebbs.

#orange light on pier
small laps at the pilings
the #ocean exhales
salt and myrtle in the air
warmth holds at the waterline

behind the face hides
the #trickery of gesture
answers are kept
where no word dares to rest
speech grows heavy
with what it refuses
forgets or withholds
until even truth
once spoken
turns slowly
into betrayal

dawn’s #investiture
unbidden light returns to
its coronation

Honeyed sun thins, forms push back.

#cool hush in the yard
bubbles of light on petals
thunder breaks the pause
low #clouds press close overhead
#marvel of sporadic rain

#Flowers draping hometown wall.

On the guileless shore
the #seafoam let fall
its salt & debris
tracing fine lines
across the pristine sand
pressing into
the grain of its cloth
Along that innocence
the waves sealed
their dissonance
rhythming the ground
with mother-of-pearl
& what is left to count

leaves closer than close
#plenty of light caught in clouds
day burns itself out

made of #water,
starlight
& the strange chemistry
that carries us
between
clarity & silt
we follow the banks
believing they will hold
then, almost
without noticing,
we begin
to lose them
& in that passage
we learn
what we are made
to keep

#vss365 #poem 🖼️ Pinterest

the massive #lantern
sheds light on candid #water
ripples hold the glow
with nothing extra or less
its beauty grows evermore

#haikuchallenge #vss365 #tanka #poetry #blueskypoets #nature #photography

They waited patiently
for each other’s #letters
Words laid upon words
saying it wasn't their fault
if the seasons had turned
or recalling
what once they loved
How much easier it was
to trace it on paper
& seal it in fine envelopes
than ever to speak it aloud
