"Good Morning, World!"

Tag: Atlantic Ocean

The Hawk @ Dawn

Eye savoured a crescent

moon of gold

above M(eye) sea

of darkened cold —

the sky was streaked

with auburn red —

above the lights

upon which Eye fed

THE JORDAN BAY HOUSE

SPIDER WEBS

The Hawk Queen Bed 7:55am

I want to write about the big spider web

wet, I saw this morning

at My Kitchen Window — with a new one

a little one getting sewn write before My Eyes

I watched it until it was finished

and the coffee was ready

and then I looked at the scraggly apple

to see it festooned with more wet webs

and then I looked beyond

to the scrub forest

and saw the dew-laiden trees

each with more than one

enormous galactic web

spreading out through

My Extended View in front

of the early morning sun

wet on the Atlantic Ocean

THE HIGHEST TIDE

The Hawk Beach 8:10pm

Tonight I am immersed

in a blue paler

than the sky

after a light rain

when I almost didn’t bring My Book

the weightiness of My Words

has Me sitting on damp sand

at the edge of the tide

as darker waves undulate

beneath sunlight in The East —

OH!

HORIZON STOP GAP

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:58am

The thinnest strip of Silver

sets My North Eastern View

The Horizon line it designates —

starting at the scrub spruce

travelling to a brown roof top

where the center of The Horizon

turns dark grey

travelling to the second roof top

and beyond to My Neighbour’s

leafy tree

MY SOLID HORIZON

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:45am

Even when The Sea is dark

shrouded by heavy cloud

threatening to rain

on My Bedding hanging out to dry

The Sea is beautiful —

a slate grey swath

of magnificance

MORNING SHIFT

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:43am

The Sun is hitting The Sea again

burnishing It with Silver

The Clouds have moved across

and above

as the northward horizon

calls to Me

to look

MY SERENITY

The Hawk Portico 2:25pm

There was that time —

too long a time —

when I would not get dressed

would lie in bed

and wish the worst

upon My Self —

Now if I choose to wear

My Pyjamas all day

it is simply because

I am enjoying My Leisure

My Bird Song

and The Waves

THIS MORNING’S SEA

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:44am

The Shimmering

The Shimmering —

how can I write enough?

The Dazzle has Me caught

in The Sublime

of My Place

My View

My Completeness

ACCOMPLISHMENT!!

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:51am

EYE just hit

22 minutes & 22 seconds

on M(EYE) C2

& have come up

to The Hawk Kitchen Outpost

to see M(EYE) Sea

struck in Silver

YAY!!!
