Bird on the beach
Timeless the sands
where cloud-birds sail
gull-waves fold soft as doves
foam and feathers
in pale sun-washed pebbles
shell-bleached
and crushed into crumbs
scattered to pigeons.

There’s such a dreamy feel to this. I suppose the ephemeral nature of clouds and crumbs on a beach.
Thank you. I loved this image. Reminded me of northern beaches. No sand, just masses of pebbles 🙂
It’s such a great image.
It is 🙂
Reblogged this on The Wombwell Rainbow.
Thank you Paul!
What a beautiful picture. Great response.
Thank you. It is lovely. A real foretaste of summer.
Oh damn, it’s snowing again here.
Thank you, Jane! I am really awaiting summer, and summer feelings. At least you have the vineyards, but we only have the stones. These only show the summer when they get warm. 😉
It’s chilly here too! We’re still getting negative temperatures at night, and a lot of the fruit trees have been frozen.
Congrats, Jane! Here its dayover like during the night. Only some days the sun is shining a little bit brighter.
It’s supposed to start getting warmer from Sunday. They’ve said this before…
Here i had read it too, on internet forcast. Lets hope they are not again lying. 😉 Best wishes, Michael
You too, and hope it thaws soon for you 🙂
It does look like it just washed up on the beach. (K)
