Over in the Twitter world, I have encountered some of the most wonderful creative souls! People who just want to share words and images and create poetry~
As you know, I have such a love affair with the ocean and I have discovered the lovely @Heidi_Ayala. Heidi shares pictures of her morning walks on the beach and each day I can't wait to open my computer and join her on that walk. she graciously allows me the privilege of expressing my reactions to her photos through poetry.
Here is a collection of a few of those images and words and one piece that we wrote together in a little game I like to call #poetrytag
Please check out Heidi on Twitter or her blog at
let us take to the air
arms spread wide
and glide upon
the morning breeze
softly, serenely
and sing a morning song
with feathers sharpened
for the assault on the morning sky
I gather all my strength
and from here where I stand
burst forth
she drenches the world
in her lustrous glow
shining her light
on everything over
which she presides
her world
reflects her
a lone traveler
in this vast expanse
of radiant blue
the world is mine to discover
my wings spread wide
I leap!
a sea of broken shells
washed ashore
each one tells a story
of a moment
a place in time
in shapes and grooves
lie the tales
Sliding in and out of invisibility
one day…
I will be touched
by something more than need
and be seen
A:
on this shore
I will wait
for you to come
to me
echo my longing
Unfolding endlessly
hungry reminders
of your tender touch
stirring the tides
within me
A:
waves dance
and crash upon the shore
nothing comes close
to the force
with which
we collide
water spray
salty taste
feel
Thank you Heidi~
I love taking walks on the beach with you~
