beacon of courage
sacrifices made, lives saved
weathered chrome still shines
It’s The Duck
inflatable duck
peeks out with a friendly “hi”
ocean city stroll
Cecil Farmhouse
near a bustling pike
under a veil of neglect
a farmhouse survives
Big Sky
watching drifting clouds
swimming in a deep blue sea
sparrows dance on high
Empty Mansion
storm clouds gathering
weathered facade bears witness
to a slant of light
Where Memory Landed
light’s silent embrace
a time-suspended moment
etched in memory
Amelia Island
morning mist hovers
clouds dusted with pastel hues
oh sweet amelia
Southern Gothic II
whispering oak trees
shadows dance ‘neath worn porch boards
southern secrets sleep
The Snow Moon
the snow moon arrives
at february’s last stand
say hello to spring
Just A Puddle
lily pads in bloom
sky and trees amongst the grass
shimmering and blue
Gulf Breeze
the smell of salt air
as the wind blows through my hair
gulf breeze love affair
Sitting Big
a rock above trees
against a vast open sky
sits big staring back
The Lighthouse
turning of the light
night sky above, sun below
the lighthouse endures
Batsto Lake
how quiet the pond
reflecting clouds and stillness
the scent of cedar
Sundown’s Beautiful Light
the color of your
love, like sundown’s beautiful
light, sunshine and bliss
Swooping Intent
as the free bird flies
i dream of that gift to be
my superpower
Mating Season
by the sea, they land
tiny feet grabbing shore sand
mating season clan
Early Morning Blue
early morning blue
sky’s wispy breaths of fresh air
lingers on the pond
Calm Before The Storm
calm before the storm
along the marsh and tall grass
stillness has no name
Little Finch
little finch watches
all day from the birdhouse roof
parking lot people
Heartbreak Hotel
rooms available
where you do not want to be
the heartbreak hotel
Winter Trees
looking up to view
towering trees with large heads
swaying against blue
Sailing
like a sailing ship
on a vast and changing sea
so too is my life
