Sometimes land, sometimes water - v3

Mud flats, tidal marshes
below the bridge, the roadway,
my path, the way to work and home,
watching the daily changes,
the urgent ebb and flow.
 
Sometimes land, sometimes water,
as I drive, as I journey, as I travel,
seeing the tidal forces, the estuary,
plants and creatures dwelling
between water and land.
 
Silt and flooding, changing,
as I look, as I ponder, as I sojourn,
drinking in the vista, the primordial soup,
watching the tidal motion,
the urgent ebb and flow.

Approaching the mall

Crossing the parking lot,
coming right toward me
approaching the mall,
But following their passions.
 
He broke to the left,
she went to the right behind me;
He went to the bait shop,
She entered the Dollar General.
 
Soon he was finished,
now walking before me,
entering the Dollar General
joining his wife on her shopping trip.

Standing in the water - v3




The tide coming in,
light behind me fading,
standing in the water
a half hour past sunset.
 
Alone with my thoughts,
sand moving beneath me,
bleeding stress off me
into healing waters.
