smooth grey stones





picking queen anne's lace
along with bachelor buttons
of mustard yellow, blackberries
still bursting with plump sweetness

evergreens shining in the pacific salty
air--no cares-- in suspension with sounds
of soft wind currents, traveling on silk pillows
placed magically on dry grass lawn

a circle of pine trees in prayer
around the sacred property
nourished by the deep
soil of coastal waters

nourishing all nomads
who gravitate to drink
from healing waters
waving clarion truths

tended to, as stones gently
tossed on the pebbled beach
prior to sunset
facing westward

smooth grey stones
tumbling within
our pockets,
playful
