Upon the shoreline
Light and birds dancing in the sky
Evening’s dreaming comes
poetry, prose, and photography
The early eighties
Lived in Seattle’s suburbs
Brutal for us geeks
Embraced by darkness
Sun’s now behind the mountains
Seattle’s beauty
We are quick to speak
So often finishing
Sentences of others
Missing details of,
Well, everything.
By rushing, everything
Is slower.
Reality often is
Counterintuitive, I guess.
Slowing, focusing, listening,
Focusing on that listening
Listening to UNDERSTAND
Not only more productive;
Relationships built.
