Eternal Motion
Dear Reader:
A poem for you inspired by my last visit to Maui:
listening to the crash of the waves and the crackle of the wind in the palms
i feel an
overwhelming sense of gratitude and wonder
so many cares lost in the rhythm of life
the waves break again and again and wash the past from the present
the young woman looks to the sea impressed by the force of nature
the mature woman finds peace in the continuity
one can not only see eternal motion
one can feel it
the water advances then repeats
an ever-changing whole of blue possibility
Where do find your inner poet?
So beautiful, Michele! <3
Nice! I’m happiest at home, surrounded by my family, the cats, and my beautiful garden. That said, I love travel. There is so much of the world to see.
You made me feel nostalgic, You are describing just the feelings I had sitting under our palms on a windy day, I was listening to the wind in palms and watching the sea and it was a sort of a meditation…now I am sad as we had to cut those three palms…But will plant something new this spring 🙂
Beautiful! I particularly liked the line, ‘the waves break again and again and wash the past from the present’.
Thanks…I seem to be getter happier and happier as I age!
