escape

still eludes
in crashing
crushing
purge of rolling wave upon sand
upon shore,
in breaking stone and silver bone and wood to salted grain

breath floats away
with bird-wings
on wind mounting cool and warm
beneath wings
leaving earth behind, leaving me to

stand wishing,
hoping
believing i could
fly

if i wanted to.

Do you?

What's to stop you?

Open your arms. Take off!

I love Maureen's question, "Do you?" What a wonderful question. What a wonderful encouragement to begin.

Oh, Kelly...

Your photography is just breathtaking. And the words--don't they give it wing?

Monica Sharman said...

When it eludes, should I keep chasing, or let it go?

leaving earth behind...

mmmm..... dreamy.

There's a simple honesty here, a vulnerability. I smell the sea and the wet sand and feel the lift under my wings. Beautiful, Kelly.
