Dunes

Carpe Diem #1224 dunes

walking the dunes
colors of early light
painting my way

sand in my shoe
remnant of our time
exploring the dunes

 

 

Ocean Dawn

dawn early rays
set the pier ablaze
tide washes pilings

 

in grey light of dawn
dune grasses gently wave
sadness lifts

Dawn

early light of dawn
sets the trees on fire
this winter morning

 

ocean waves
blush in the kiss of dawn
seagull fishes

 

against peach skies
dawn exposes cloud castles
watching the waves

without lights
the brightness of a blue sky
full of stars                           © Jane Reinhold

becomes a wonder to behold
a playground of hopes and dreams    © Dolores

balanced at dawn
a full moon slides into the sea
without ripples     © Jane Reinhold

as the sun leaps from the depths
creating a pool of red                     © Dolores

stars bend down
into the wind of whitecaps

along the beach a ghost crab
scavenges for it’s breakfast             © Dolores

At The Buddha’s Feet

Troiku

 

butterfly alights
scattering cherry blossoms
at the buddha’s feet

butterfly alights
softly on the hand
a bit of good fortune

 

scattering cherry blossom
at the buddha’s feet
a noisy robin

at the buddha’s feet
two white pebbles and a snail
glisten in the sun

Last Goodbye

Carpe Diem #1214 dawn

through the curtain
dawn’s early light filters
bathing your body
