Many thanks to Bryan Ripley Crandall for his magic box prompt for #verselove over at Ethical ELA.

I wrote my poem under the influence of the beauty and wonder of Morro Bay and wordplay from the magic box.

The light calls

shining blinding

me to anything

beyond the sea

Enormous boulders buried

bulging between shoulders

releasing rocking raining

avalanching

becoming lacy delicate feathers

airy with lift

Hearts pump together

in unison

briny waters breathing in

breathing out

living life’s rhythms

Read and write each other

feast on images

taste each word

satisfy the soul

Light

spilling refilling marking

end

and then

begin again

reflecting joining

sea and me
