sandpiper dreams

An original poem.

----------

sandpiper dreams

running together near

the waves. back and forth

footprints formed in sand

to be washed away

by the sea. then to

take flight clumsily

when the sun calls them

home again. and the beach

becomes quiet. i awoke

to see one bird,

running back and forth

in the moonlight.

i awoke

to see one bird,

..isn't it uncanny..you and I see only the One..be it in a face, or bird...the voice calls..it seems we are deaf..*smile*

Yes! I painted a lonely Sandpiper darting in and out of the water...I can still see his little head bob like it did that day when I snapped his picture. He was the best thing I've brought home from my beach walks in years.
Thanks.
