Pale Quiet (SWF)

SWF Quiet Gusto

Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse 12-11-10

Pale Quiet

liquid light

softly surrounds me as

I drown in the chaos of

Life

I reach out for safety,

grab what I can

of the Pale Quietness

of Stillness

of Hope

  9. The serenity of this scene seeps into my bones...

    SKY-SEEKERS

    The sky-seekers, some people say,
    Do not favor night over day;
    They always look up,
    The sky is their cup,
    And keeping it full’s their cachet!
