Live In Scenery: Scenes From A Comfortable Life

Sometimes you see the waves roping and wagging

filled with sea creatures who love water, aloofness
always moving under the cover of the sun or moon

and then as soon as you see them they are gone.

It's the wind again picking up the waves and when it clears

you keep looking for those sea creatures 

backsplashing waterwicking

you keep finding those sea creatures 

still flowing, vanishing in this

dream-life filled to the brim with long roots into ground.

Sometimes you see the whip-thin

tail of the sun on water

and then you see her, your beautiful wife
radiant, joyful, enjoying pure bliss

and then it is there the love you care for is present.

Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. Full of spectacular views and historical landmarks, the village of Mendocino is perched on a scenic headland high above the Pacific Ocean–is the perfect escape from Silicon Valley.

Ah, the harmonious call of the sea as you gaze across the continental shore and breathe in salt air oxygen.

Blazing Sun: Landscapes Of Contemporary Creation

The light opens like an opened door
this is the place for everyday leisure
the raw crescendo of the crashing shore
and a radical astonishment at life's eternal existence.

A voice, not quite a voice, is the sea
listening to its own thin cetaceous whistle
sea music gasp and sigh, fast wash and wind rustle
somewhere the wave is forming which is time
dazzled by the sun, dazed by the fog
not all transparency is come and go.
