she stands

she stands under the sun
watching blue waves
crashing against rocks
ocean breeze tickles
her nostrils as seagulls
hawk above her head
 
she lets her mind wander
across those waves
searching for signs
on which way to go
at sunset she receives
the answer

    Makes me wonder where she decided to go. Very light and airy and enjoyable read, Arcadia Maria.

    Oh, the lovely seagull nostrils and how a vigilant stand is responded to in time. Wonderful quadrille.

    I love this - sometimes the answer comes to us when we stop trying to force a solution!
