hopes and dreams
the warmth in your voice
travels with us
where the river meets the sea
older seals are barking

  5. Wonderful words and photos as always, Xenia. I recall the seals and sea lions along the Oregon Coast. For someone who was born and raised far from the ocean, it was a magical experience to see these creatures in their natural setting. This tanka brings back good memories. Enjoy your rest-of-the-week! 🙂
