The overcast foggy day creeps to settle
into the sunless summer morning
holding nothing magical or surreal
as held within the moments of salty air
hovering over the tops of ocean waves
collecting on beaches covered
in driftwood, grasses and
foamy tides
where upon the scenic artistry looms large
seeing breathtaking stands of Madrone trees
branches curving, bending to sky and ground
their paper like bark peeling ornately
as though the artists brush is continually
sweeping strokes of orange-red vibrance
to reveal a satiny silver glow
as polished
wherein I know now living far from
the majesty of trees and the salty smell
of ocean air that settles on my skin
true happiness can only reside within me
whilst close to nature’s wonder of
the ocean and Madrone tree’s
magic
