Returned to the island,
cold air and quiet tide
relieve the dark night
and morning’s weight.
My eyes thrive
on the sight of water,
soul on the quiet
broken only by gulls.
The inner life
of this lonely animal,
resting in the comfort
of the deep earth,
welcomed back
to the cold,
to the tide.

  1. The atmosphere evoked in this piece is so satisfying, vivid in its sense of Home, at last..! I feel your deep outbreath. Beautiful piece, Don.

  2. Another surrender to the cycles of deep autumn’s revel.
    Thankful in the Womb of coming rebirth.
    Blessings kind friend.
