Prompt words: Ethereal, placid, meander, forget, silver
PERSPECTIVE
white foamy waves dash toward shore, strains of my life
nothing ethereal about them on their approach
angry waves morph to placid waters
as they ease upon the sand
mesmerized I sit with eyes closed, meandering thoughts
lost in the language of the surf – a presence greater than I
the twinkling shimmering silver on the ocean’s surface a shifting changing wonder
an ever present reminder that
my ails is but a speck in this universe
no planets revolve around me
