Haibun: Glistening Sea

 

 

two whippets walking across shingle by the beach at low tide

 

We tiptoe across shingle to sands down below, the pools and a haze of blue mountains. The wondering and what-ifs are over now. The river flows out to a glistening sea, gathering stones full of meaning.

rest easy
home again among angels
in peace

blue sky
can see herself in water
what a blessing
we see both on either side
sharing our horizon
