Waves of yesterdays evidenced in footprints not yet erased lose their shadows in the gradual light of another day, and I add to them on my way to where the sand shows no trace of existence. I am one of the few witnesses. I patiently wait and wait for sun to make his … Continue reading Witness

They even closed the beach during the supposed pandemic. And with all that has been going on in the world weighing so heavily upon my sensitive heart, those initial barefoot steps upon the boardwalk bridge began immediately changing me inside once again, and I needed it, once again. The bridge between the world and the … Continue reading Fleeing Land
Pure and white, in the morning light, the large, soft petals lovingly envelop me as if I were its center missing and returning home; the embrace makes my eyes close, and I lose myself in the sweet scent of belonging, the chaos within me subsides, and I know what serenity feels like for the first … Continue reading It All Started with a Flower
I am never blind to the beauty, but sometimes I get inner-weary, and I simply let the nature settle upon me, then slowly seep into me, filling all those places deep that needed a coating.

When it all builds up, I flee to the sea to speak to Almighty Majesty and offer it up, the waves like His reach, … Continue reading Fleeing to the Sea
Highs and lows are the nature of life, from mental health to ocean tides, and presently, in this moment in time, I am humbly watching faithful sun slowly rise after being rescued from a self-induced riptide. Tired but again all right. Thank you for your unconditional lifelines. Poem and images ©LauraDenise
Busyness buzzes about, time whizzes by, but only on the outside, for in me, a peace counters, hushing the frenzy, now that my mind is sounder. The slow counter rotation pushes back against the second hands of time, and I hover above the current, free from the waves knocking me over. I … Continue reading Rotations
