Rock Pool

Is it the stillness
of the rock pool
that draws me
again and again?

Authority eludes –
is not my own –
I dodge hawk-eyed
critics, am weighted
down…struggling
to resurface…

Crave tranquil
company, a chance
to breathe…
unseen…
Nature always the key

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  1. Oh VJ I love this poem – and your photo is exquisite! When I read your words (especially about resurfacing), my heart opened with the gift of nature. Thank you so much.

    Emerson is one of my favorite poets….he loved nature. 🙂 Here’s a quote you may enjoy!

    “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

    Blessings to your day, VJ.

      1. Yeah, I’ve in 404 error message world. I’ve been so busy with medical issues I haven’t had time to fix it. I hope later today I can work on it. I need to get it running again. I want to find a blogging at home job. I will need prospective bosses to be able to read my writing.
