reminiscent of an Ansel Adams photograph
the waves of the Pacific break
against the sandy shores
layers upon layers of ruffles
stitched with foamy lace
an imitation of art mercurial
each white foamy layer
a year in the life
a depiction steeped in feelings
of all that is perpetual
as if years will continue
ad infinitum
youth and memory captured and held
within the taste
within the smell
of sea salt
until another wave crashes
wind driven upon
the shore
wiping clean the slate like sand
without even a touch
you simply
let
go

Another visit to a place I will always love but is forever changed in many ways. I have left there knowing that change is imminent and this year finds me swept away within its’ embrace. What places are and will forever be held in your heart even though you call another place home? For me it is California.
