from the ocean

it’s been a year and a half since i have smelt and tasted the salt of the ocean– an oddity for me– i have always managed to get back every year regardless of any life circumstances– my “silly” disease of meniere’s continues to turn my world upside down– thank you to relatives that send pictures!!!

advance guards
i was driving this morning and saw some stacks from corn made by the amish– they reminded me of advance guards–

i used to look out from my window
and see the tall grass in the wind
standing there just like advance guards
waiting for the battle to begin

golden ribbons
there is a journey i take every so often and i pass this tree– it always rocks me to see the ribbon and think how little has changed from the time i was a teenager till now–

“we see young men our own age in coffins
and mothers in tears for their sons
and sweetheart’s and wives
alone with their memories
and golden ribbon’s those fortunes of war”
