The sun rises above the dunes and the chill of the night’s frost evaporates with every step in the soft sand. Sea and sky treat our eyes to pale blues and indigos. A third eye opens and sees beyond the horizon of this morning’s dream. Our intuition is here to guide us through our day. We hear her voice in the seagull’s call, the soothing movement of the sea.
light reaches and folds
in rhythm with the waves
song for a new day

What a life – something most of us can only dream of! Beautiful! I would have loved to see the whippets and their joyous abandon and movement included in the prose as well, somehow.

Thank you for your kind words Marina and I understand where you are coming from. The joy of movement has been part of so many posts already and these prompts inspired a different approach where image, prose and haiku complement each other. The images represent the energy of joyous movement and the prose and haiku contribute different aspects of the same moment.

Wonderful the magic you portrayed in all three aspects, inspirational! A haiku comment. Thank you Xenia!
————————-
we’ve danced here before
waves recognising the sand
little ripples blushed
—
waves singing welcome
new dawn chorus splashing tunes
watch those whippets run
—
wonder dogs flying
Xenia’s wishes she could too
wonder woman
—
natures never jokes
it holds our fate between breaths
hurting holding back
—
light winds gentle sea
dusk dawns the moon looking wry
beware spring high tides
—
walks along the shore
beach combing tide lines
smell that fresh sea air
—
hark the sea roaring
hurricane drum rolls the waves
coast erosion rife
—
storms woe stress and strife
the waves doing battle war
frothing white horses
—
