We’ve all had moments of synergy when the sum of separate parts is almost overwhelming; and that is what I try to describe in this poem. It was my experience as I walked into a scene of calm, natural beauty at the end of the 16th street beach access.
Magical, this land’s-end vista where sky and sea blend at a hazy horizon bleached pale blue by a sun, white-hot not yellow, no cloud shade no soft breeze just this – a bird, a boat, a beach. I slip off sandals, sink toes into white sand, inhale fully, one, deep, breath, then walk slowly to the edge of cool, rippling water.
