Sun rays through the clouds
hit the ocean at an angle
creating an island of light
upon the vast horizon.
Ocean waves crash
and bring an icy breeze ashore
guiding the seagulls
and chilling me to the bone.
A stray dog waits in the sand
for a passerby to notice
and throw him a bone
before the night falls.
And I,
a most unnatural occurrence
perched here on a ledge,
watch as the world unfolds.

I can see you, I can see me, you paint such a picture.
Hey SocrateSoul, just dropping by to say hello. Thanks for the blogroll and the poetry. You have a beautiful way with words! I just spit bile and whinge!
