Visitors
Searching an azure ocean, light
dancing over the calm waves, waiting
we scan the far horizon, mirages
inhabit our dreamtime, calling the return
from depths unknown
a flicker, a shadow, catches our breath
as we conjure the images, was it only
a wish, unfulfilled of that longed for connection
the cry unheard
that we might mark your passing
and there – like a fountain, the surface broken
a spurt of joy
and a black tail, rising, turning
to thrill us with the wonder
of your being
welcome, mighty whales, we greet
one another
with smiles and sorrow
for you, swimming freely in your innocence
have harpooned our hearts

Beach Haiku
the sea shares secrets
whispered to the passing gull
written on the sand
the path leads onwards
shadows lengthen on the shore
October evening
