The distant hills visible from my front window remind me of the ocean.


A Calming Sea


Disturbed by stormy thoughts,
I glance out my porthole
At the rolling waves.

Absorbed by the green swells,  
The turbulence within me
Drowns in their wake.

It's not always easy to focus on the positive. But it may be worth it in the long run.


Fleeting Moments


Like clouds in a windy sky, days breeze by
Jam-packed with emotional haze.

Some are filled with the moisture of tears
And cast dark shadows on your dreams.

Others float by light and airy;
They shade you from the feverish pace of life.

Since they all fade into vaporous memories,
Dismiss the gloom and cherish the buoyant joys.
