Hot feet in heavy boots,
Adhering to a path with no destination in mind
Crumbling treacherous footing yet eyes
drawn to the ocean.
Up and up and up
Above the coast and hills,
Peace comes, illuminated by
the distant bright mirror of the water.
Sandy coasts bend into the soft, heavy ocean air.
The photos are of Cuesta Ridge, 2017. Photo cred to Gina Ghiglieri, who loves Maddy, too.
Thank you for sharing Maddy's beautiful words. What a powerful and moving poem. For me, I hear him capture the essence of peace he finds in nature. I find HOPE in his description of the landscape and ocean. Maddy...what a gift. xo
