Friendly Orion
Over my shoulder
Keeps his opinions
To himself
Mercurial reflections
City lights flicker
Along the mirror
Of retreating waves
Spanish music punctuates
Ocean’s whispering sigh
Adding lyrics to
My swaying steps
Palo santo wafts
Along northwest winds
Conversing with my senses
Solo travellers
Are never alone
Kin to every beach bird
Busy hunting crabs
Dotting water’s edge
Spaced evenly apart
Sunset sentinels
Ready for duty
We are the
Night watch

When Amazon Says You’re a Disappointment
Yesterday, for the first Wednesday in months, I didn’t publish a piece on Vocal. Believe me, I wanted to. I had it all written up and ready to go. I was going to share the news that I had officially become a published author.

Calm and quietly cinematic! This feels like walking a shoreline with your senses fully switched on. Sometimes being “employed” just means being present enough to notice the world breathing with you. 💖
Love the words inspired by those beautiful images
Your photos are stunning! I especially loved the ocean's whispering sigh hehehehe
Beautiful pictures and prose! I love how well you captured the atmosphere and brought it to life. Loved this one!
