...at the beach

leaving home's mountain lake laurel



casting purple shadow
where constant changing moving water meets stubborn shifting solid land

twilight glowing

sleeping-in so quiet morning
'come away by yourselves and rest awhile'

my favorite day anywhere
especially at the beach
overcast
monday
rain in the air

coffee and morning readings
praying feet dug down deep in the sand
     'He made the sea
     it belongs to Him'

     'Deep is calling on deep
     in the roar of waters
     Your torrents and all Your waves
      swept over me'




'home'
to a hot outdoor shower
espresso and bacon
breakfast at eleven

and even cleaning up is better
on a birthday eve monday
...at the beach
