sunny garden wall

a robin come to visit

late spring snowflakes fall

a robin red breast

a man breaking the hard soil

a team hunting grubs

a gradual easing

growling traffic crawling by

still holding our breath

today breaks gently

two doves asleep, windless trees,

quiet golden thoughts

a house like a cave

stone walls stone ceilings stone floors

softening sunlight

leaning on a wall

time alone for pensive thought

people passing by

dreaming of days spent

walking amongst the sand dunes

sea grass whispering

a crab in a rock pool

tiny tremulous creatures

await the next tide

dolphins delight us

dive under our bows then leap

sleek bodies, sea spray

retreating tide leaves

a pattern of scattered shells,

sounds of settling sand
