Lagoon

palm trees lean
to catch a blue breeze
lagoon waves

Suspended

a breath of blue
rides the waves
flies on high

I’ve never been one to sun on the beach or bask in ocean waves, but the vibrant shades of a blue lagoon and a blue sky is a feast for the eyes. There’s so much beauty and an open invitation to take a deep breath and simply be in the middle of it all. A tiny human in a vast space filled with nothing but color, a soft breeze, and an irresistible light.

Swim

white sand
tinted blue
the stingrays swim

Between

blue above
and below
heaven between

Chance

Stone fingers reach,
bound by the ground
Rooted to life,
dreaming of white

Hope has wandered,
from up above
Wishing to touch,
starved fingertips

Tangled in trees,
carried by wind
The chance passes,
but no one grieves
