poetry, prose, and photography
blue sky peeking through
upon this roadside
while walking in the sunlight
the motion of life
a winter walk
calmness amongst the trees
crows chattering
through fading sunlight
walk along the waterfront
filled with memories
Most of my life orbited the Edmonds waterfront, just north of Seattle. My grandparents lived here. So many memories of walking with my grandfather here, sometimes riding the ferry. He loved talking with everyone, hearing their stories. His gift of listening appreciated.
feet upon pavement
headlights move through the darkness
facelessly pass by
Walking last night, stepping over and around puddles, remembering so many other nights. An element of this Seattle life.
amidst the daylight
the sky holding my gaze
the rain speaks loudly
walking through the mist
rain-soaked clothes cooling my skin
memories of sun
I walk through the leaves
feeling the wind in my hair
the jays cheer for sun
sprinting clouds move past
trees bow, respecting the wind
leaves racing downwards
only in the night
within it’s gift of darkness
can we see starlight
