Right Here Now

The water is higher than past times

Here – a favorite spot – place, time, sky, voices of celebration. 

Relaxed anew. All mine.

Subtle waves churn. I watch, immerse in my corner of this place, in this corner of my mind. Freedom.

Imagining faces in the clouds, streaks of attitude, personalities. 

The waves roll up to me. Beach grass signals the wind. 

I watch. Rapture.
