Do I dare to dream, in morning light?
Or toss these thoughts aside?
Promises cast upon the sea
Swept away, with the evening tide
I walk along these rocky shores
In hopes that I may find
A trace of you, a subtle hint
Or something left behind
I stand here, chasing shadows
Found in the water’s swell
They circle close, around my soul
Then wish a fond farewell
Was it you I caught a glimpse of?
Can you see me waiting here?
Yes, I will stand upon this ocean
Til you let me know you’re near

He caught me
I was trying to hide it. The wee hours had their hold on me, again. Every night the same routine, except tonight. He caught me. The glare of the back light made it impossible to shield what I was doing. I thought I was rather quiet, but it didn’t matter.
Sound or no, he just waited for me to notice him. I did, but refused to acknowledge his stare. Ignoring something or someone is easy enough, until of course, the daggers being thrown in your direction eventually hit their target. Okay, okay, I get it.
I’m disturbing him. I could shade it with my hands. I could stop altogether but that’s not an option. No, I’ll just keep ignoring, he’ll just keep glaring, and then the battery died. I needed to plug my phone in. He smiled and rolled over. Damn, he wins every time.

Strands of Maiden Grass
Bending with the gentle breeze
Capture the sunlight

Colors line this path I take
Brilliant, in their earthly wake
Leading me to time, serene
Surrounding me with beauty, seen
In wondrous ways, upon the land
This sight, that truly is so grand
Where in the distance, sunlight beams
Of possibility, hope and dreams
Keeps me steady, on my way
As I take in, the light of day
That lets me walk this mighty trail
O’er the top, I cannot fail
