Pursuit
“Performance depends neither on size nor strength,
but rather on fuel of the spirit.”
~Robyn Lee
Pre-Season
The empty homes along the shore,
sit and watch their own front doors.
They know it’s spring and soon to come,
are summer dwellers, waves and fun.
Their peaceful life upon the sand,
will be transformed into party-land.
With music, grills and games galore,
their quiet life will be no more.
Collective Dreams
Dreams and prayers of an entire universe, all woven
into an ethereal blanket of gold.

Pain Shadow II
On the deserted beach
I walk with a pain shadow.
Hip searing with each step
I move forward slowly.
My joint tears away.
A sharp arrow pierces through me.
I stop to find stillness yet the
pain shadow follows.
Gazing into the ocean,
I inhale deeply
then exhale with force
trying to release the pain.
But it won’t let go.
I must abandon this pain shadow.
This constant companion.
This unwelcome thing.
That has attached itself to me.
19 years of unrelenting pain.
Countless attempts to escape
to normal days, when the beach
meant walks and waves; picnics and laughter.
I climb the wooden stairs to look down
on the wide expanse of shoreline.
In pain I stand tall above the sprawling
desolate beach that goes on forever.
I envision myself burying the pain shadow
beneath the sandy surface,
deep in a restrictive dark hole
where it can no longer define my world.
And in that moment I am free.
Ups & Downs
“There is an uphill for every downhill, and a downhill for every uphill.”

Seek
“I suppose that’s the secret, if you’re ever wishing for things to go back to the way they were. You just have to look up.”
~ Lauren Oliver
Open Heart
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~ Rumi

Like Water
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” — Bruce Lee
