Twiglet #140: A Mile Wide
Rag Tag Daily Prompt: Pebble
Word of the Day Challenge: Zone
this summer blessed with sun
we walked ten miles and talked
of shorelines and geology
beyond amazed what has become
our tidal land, plucked from
desert, sea and glacier
we’re grateful time has brought us near
our gentle surf and all that glitters here
