Tidewater V

When Life Begins Moving Through Grief


The Tide


Today
the sea whispered,
Just notice—
dancing diamonds.


The Sea



Be


with me


Along This Shore


Long enough

to experience

nature’s doxology.


A lantern for the crossing


The tide rises.

The tide recedes.

The sea has no light of its own.

Sunlight danced across water.

The heron waits.

The reeds bow.

The sea glimmers.

Everything is simply being faithful.
