Words and images from my walks and interactions with nature and the environment.
Muted Sunset
feeling a little shy tonight
I fluff and muffle myself over with cloudy down
duck beneath my covers and let my fingers tentatively reach out with glowing tips
restrained embers
sending smokey feathered brush strokes up into the greatness
and wispy white streaks of my day remembered
I listen to the ocean beneath me
carrying on it’s rhythmic dance
neither calm or tempestuous
emotionally reasonable
I may peak out now and then
to watch the Saturday evening beach walkers be soothed
the dogs chase the tide
and have their way with the waves
I will snooze down and softly release a muted glow
like peach, orange and raspberry smoothie spilling sideways
streaming north before taking my leave.
