THE PLACE WITHIN


Leave a comment

Beach Life

My path took me to the waters edge

and pulled me back

feet on the sand

of moveable ground

And my eyes upon the skies

of appearing

pink hues of

another sunset

Release to resolve

is the talk of the wind

caressing my hair

than saltiness on the lips

The words are now far behind

and impressions

not yet made

in the sand ahead

The Sea of Sunset by Emily Dickinson

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This is the land the sunset washes,
These are the banks of the Yellow Sea;
Where it rose, or whither it rushes,
These are the western mystery!

Night after night her purple traffic
Strews the landing with opal bales;
Merchantmen poise upon horizons,
Dip, and vanish with fairy sails.

Poem by Emily Dickinson No.13 The Sea of Sunset

This weeks WordPress Photo Challenge:

“Share a photograph inspired by a favorite poem, verse, story, or song lyric. Bonus points if you share why the particular text resonates with you. (Though you certainly don’t have to!) If you’re not feeling especially literary or musical this week, see if you can capture the beauty of morning or evening half-light in your corner of the globe”.

You know I love Emily Dickinson poetry, so who better. The photo was taken in my town at the channel on a glorious evening in Spring 2014.
