Summary:
A photo of a rock held precariously between 2 boulders as the sun set over the silent seas behind it inspired this. The smaller rock was since dislodged when a king tide shifted the boulders shifted last winter. Featured image: photo digitally painted in oil with FreshPaint

You’re closer now (in my waters?)
Yet, here I am
Lodged
between a rock and a hard place
just a little pebble
ticking away time in wishes
watching as the sun
rises, sets and years progress
Observing ocean tides
rise then gently recede…
Until one frigid night
intense & wild king currents
washed me out to sea
Lost in sand and sea-grass
as waves rock to & fro
watching crabs scuttle by
or snatched as eagles dive from the sky
Now I, like those hapless crabs, aimless;
Never to rest on your welcome shores;
Remain, lodged
in these capriciously shifting sands of time
while you catch a connecting flight
Away
