steinhatchee’s light fades
but the river holds its song
gone, not forgotten
A Ribbon of Gold
fading sky unwinds
a ribbon of burning gold
then silence takes root
Xalvis Island
tide falls, light softens
footsteps follow wind and wave
stillness moves with time
The Glamour of Film
sunset on the run
camera, film, and sandy feet
barefoot four by five
When Walls Faced The Sea
centuries of brick
hold the hush of cannon fire—
a sail drifts beyond
Golden Hour on the Marsh
golden sun sinking
painting blooms of amber light
through swaying marsh reeds
Timeworn And Terrifying
bars rust in silence
boarded windows trap the light
timeworn, still haunting
Suwannee River
okefenokee
to the gulf of mexico
made famous in song
Adult Day Care
in vacation land
adult day care is open
at high five dive bar
Resilience
resilience unveiled
stumbling blocks to building blocks
seek strength, alter course
Everglades Evening
against a brilliant
sunset in the everglades
a blue heron rests
Happy New Year 2023
calm along the coast
greetings from north florida
happy new year all
Sailing
like a sailing ship
on a vast and changing sea
so too is my life
