Day closes
in wandering chatter
losing itself
in waves
edging our
pebbled shore;
stones skitter
over the surface,
lead trails
to the horizon —
fading circles
on yellow water

Stunning metaphor for aging/end of life. Nature lends herself to so many great analogies.
Thank you. I so appreciate it. And you are right — in fact, nature doesn’t seem to need much help in telling all these stories!
This feels so comforting to me today, so thank you. I keep getting drawn back to “wandering chatter” and its echo, “stones skitter.”
I am so glad. Sometimes, we just need to stare into the haze a few minutes. Thanks much.
