The drumbeats ripples rock,

plunge deeper in to

Sounds.

Found each day in a skiff dory

That overflows with sunrise greetings to make the day shimmer.

"the remembrance of the fading

season, remembered as if

gone even before it has left,

loss and grief anticipated."

Brought a tear of recognition, thinking of loved one's illness. Reminds me to embrace the time we have left. Thanks Jonathan. ❤️

the way the boats bob in the waves

tug at the harbormaster's heart

and incite the thought that we

are all the same....Oh glorious!!!

Excellent, Jonathan. The harbor, the changing of the seasons and us. Three peas in a pod.
