December Night

Still sea,
snow covered dunes,
a gull’s cry stirs the night,
the ocean’s surf in his head
quiets the soul,

his mind reaching out
to specks of light winking at him
across the December sky.

He is not alone.

He is one with the world.
For the moment
his world is at peace.

Gene, I can feel your peaceful mind here in this wonderful poem. So much to think about but the bottom line is that somehow you have managed to find a bit of serenity in your life.
That is a beautiful thing!
Peace, love, and light,

Isn't it amazing how the natural world can offer so much peace when we get away from the machines and rattle of the city. My escape was to the mountains ringing Los Angeles where the wilderness still ruled and people could access nature along narrow trails that climbed and climbed into the clouds. I miss those mountains. If you climbed high enough, the insanity of civilization was left far behind.

Gene, My Good Friend, what a wonderful gift you've given me and all who read your good words of AD! They are truly beautiful, as is the message contained therein. You do have a way with the gulls, the sea,the night, the quiet, and with words we need to hear.
My personal best to you and your family... A Merry and Joyful Christmas!
